Butterfly Sequencing Activity

As the week of insects continues today we did a sequencing activity with some of the students. We first read the book The Butterfly by Anna Mibourne and Cathy Shimmen. This book goes through the sequence of how a butterfly is created and is filled with beautiful pictures that helps engage the students. As we read the book the students worked on numerous goals that include; sentence structure, adjectives, and answering wh-questions. After the story was finished I had the students sequence how the butterfly is created. As they told me how the butterfly is created we focused on them using the words first, next, and then. To help with generalization of these skills when the students went back to class I had to them retell the sequence of the butterfly to their teacher and/or peers.
