Lesson Procedure:
DAY 1:
Transition into the Lesson: After afternoon meeting, students will be assigned a center to start
in based on their pre-assigned groups.
Anticipatory Set:
Good afternoon boys and girls. What can you tell me about butterflies?
[Questioning, Silence, Paraphrase Reflection] Butterflies are insects that start off as
caterpillars. Show the students a copy of the completed butterfeet. Say, We are not
caterpillars, so we cannot change into butterflies, but we can make butterflies! This afternoon,
we are going to make the wings of the butterflies out of paint. We will finish the butterflies on
Wednesday morning. The first thing we need to do is to get ready to make our butterflies. The
way we do that is to take off our shoes and socks. Take off your shoes and socks, then assist
students in removing their shoes and socks (rolling up pant legs when necessary so that paint
does not get onto clothing). [Do-It Statements, Modeling]
Steps of Lesson:
Now you have five seconds to get into a single file line. Count down
from five. Assist students as necessary. [Do-It Signal] Because this is new, I am going to help
you in completing your wings, but we need to do this one at a time. You will get to pick the
color for your butterfly. We have four colors to choose from today. Think about your color
choice while you are waiting for assistance. [Tell, Explain, Inform, and Do-It Statements]
Allow student to pick color for wings, have student sick one foot into pan with paint, that foot is
firmly pressed to the paper. Repeat with second foot. [Guided Practice] Hand student a towel
and instruct student to step into warm sudsy water to clean off excess paint. [Tell, explain,
Inform] Put completed wings onto drying rack. Repeat steps until all students have wings
completed. Assist students in cleaning feet, drying feet, and redressing.
Closure:

You made some colorful butterfly wings. I cant wait to see them completed.

Transition out of Lesson:

Once time has completed, students to line up on the green line to
go to the next center. Welcome students from the blue line into your station and start again.
After all students have completed the rotation, students to plan how they are going to spend
choice time prior to leaving the area.
DAY 2:
Transition into the Lesson: After morning meeting, students will go to various color tables
based on pre-assigned groups.
Anticipatory Set:
Who can remind me what we did on Monday during center time? Allow
two to three students to answer. Thats right, we created butterfly wings. [Questions, Silence,
Paraphrase Reflection] Last time, we talked about how caterpillars turn into butterflies. Today
we are going to talk about the butterflies. What can you tell me about butterflies? Allow two to
three students to answer. Then say, Butterflies explore the world around them through touch.
They have two long, thin things sticking out of their heads that helps them to feel the world
around them called antennae. We created the wings last time, well today, we are going to finish

the butterflies by coloring their bodies, heads, and antennae. [Questions, Silence, Paraphrase
Reflection, Tell, Explain, and Inform]
Steps of Lesson:
Pass out the dry butterfly wings to each student. Have crayons and
markers available in the center of the table. Using the samples of various stages of completed
butterfeet, help guide students to completing own butterflies. [Guided Practice, Modeling]
Once butterfly is colored, have students cut out around the wings and then write name on back.
Closure:
Wow, look at all of these colorful butterflies! In April, our class is going to be
talking more about insects. Maybe our butterflies will be flying around the classroom in April.
Well have to wait and see.
