Studying Butterflies
• This spring, our class was thrilled to watch as our
tiny caterpillars ate, grew and ate some more. We
waited with anticipation as they changed within each
chrysalis and became 23 beautiful Painted Lady
butterflies.

Our Contributors
Working on this presentation with our students has
been a fun project. The finished work included here
shows a variety of writing processes. Some students
have used “kid-writing” freely, while others have used
lists of words as references or copied after dictating
to a teacher. All student entries were typed by the
author.
