Every spring life begins again. Flowers, trees, animals, and insects start the life cycle process. Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and colorful creatures found in nature. Based on the theme \u201cLife\u00a0Cycle\u00a0of a Butterfly\u201d, Pre-Nursery students read about seeds, flowers, caterpillars and butterflies to build knowledge about life cycle of a butterfly.<\/p>\n

Students were introduced Carle’s classic tale of a voracious caterpillar who eats his way through the days of the week and then changes into a beautiful butterfly. \u00a0Children\u2019s listening skills were developed as they were asked to respond with questions about the story. The children were all fascinated to read that a caterpillar turns into a cocoon and then hatches as a butterfly.<\/p>\n

Culmination day was planned after completing the theme. Mothers were also invited. Students presented the story in form of a role-play which developed their creative and imaginative skills. They were dressed up in story characters and played their role to represent the story. Students performed on two different songs related to the theme to develop collaborative learning.<\/p>\n
