I would use this when talking about bugs in a later unit but, I will try to find the
butterfly for this unit. I like how this webpage gives you a question and answer. I
think this website would be useful for first and second grades because it is easy
for them to read and understand. I also like that it gives you other useful websites
to use because other useful websites can be hard to find.

I can use this in my unit plan easily to explain the difference between a butterfly
and a moth. I know I have always wondered myself what the differences in the
two really are. Again, this would be great for first and second graders to practice
their reading skills. I could use a Venda gram to show the similar and differences
in the two. I could also split the classroom into two groups and each group has
one or the other and they have to tell me what they think the differences are in the
two. This will get the children working together. I also like this web page because
it gives me books I can get for my classroom for the children to read and look at.

- I would hang these pictures up in my classroom and explain that even years ago
we were fascinated with butterflies. I would find all the information I can on the pictures

myself before I have the children help me with finding information. I want to make sure
that the information is developmentally appropriate for the children. I also want to make
sure that the websites are useful for the children. I would like to learn with the children
because I think it is benefits the children more when we learn together. They also learn
that even as an adult you never stop learning. The first picture was by Yozo Hamaguchi.
The name of the picture is Butterfly and is from the early to mid 1900s. The second
picture has two names the first is Chequered Butterfly or Whistlers butterfly. The
contributors name is James McNeill Whistler. This picture is from 1890- 1900. The
picture is a pencil sketch of a butterfly.

- I like the idea of having a song about a butterflies hang in my classroom to give the
children inspiration to learn new things. I feel this would be a great way to introduce a
new idea about butterflies from another persons point of view. The song is called
Butterfly gallop. The contributor of the song is Claude Melnotte. He was a piano player.
The songs were published by Kunkel Brothers, Saint Louis, 1817.
