“I Am a Butterfly” By: Stephen Swinburne 1st Grade Hollie Smith
The Life Cycle of a Butterfly • Egg • Caterpillar • Green Chrysalis (approximately 1” long) • Black Chrysalis (after approximately 10 days) • Butterfly
Information/Life Lessons • Butterflies fly in the air all day • When day turns to night, they rest just like you and I • A butterfly starts out as a little egg and upon hatching turns into a caterpillar • In order to grow, the caterpillar eats plants • Caterpillars need water just like you and I. Therefore when it rains they drink the small rain drops that collect on leaves
A butterfly is an insect. It’s body is divided into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen). It also has three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings. Essential Question: Can you think of another insect that we have seen in school or at home that you would like to share with the class?
