Learning Context: |
| In kindergarten we learn about the changes that happen around us in the world. One example we use to study this is the change that a butterfly undergoes from an egg to a caterpillar to a butterfly. |
| Associated New York State Learning Standards: |
Standard: Knowing and Using Arts Materials and Resources
Students will be knowledgeable about and make use of the materials and resources available for participation in the arts in various roles. |
| Students understand the characteristics of various mediums (two-dimensional, three dimensional, electronic images) in order to select those that are appropriate for their purposes and intent (a). |
Assessment Plan:
|
| Students will be assessed based upon the outcome of their projects. A rubric would be established detailing what should be included in each life phase to show understanding. |
Student Work:
|
| Student work would be the egg, caterpillar, and butterfly. |
Procedure:
|
| Teacher Directions: Teachers will encourage students to use materials in unique ways to create an egg, a caterpillar, and a butterfly. Student Directions: Students will be given a variety of art materials and encouraged to use them to create each of the three major phases of the butterfly's life cycle. |
Resources/Materials Needed:
|
| Books with pictures of the butterfly's phases of life.
A variety of art materials - paper, scissors, glue, tape, magazines, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, etc. |
Instructional/Environmental Modifications:
|
| None. |
Reflection:
|
| I have used this lesson with my kindergardeners and it is very effective. I would do it with a small group while the other students were exploring different ways to show understanding of the concept. |
