Happy Earth Day, everyone!
Here is
another installment in my series of science poetry tied to science-themed
picture books. My graduate student, Desiree Peden (in my "Poetry for
Children" class) selected the focus on “the butterfly life cycle” from the series of professional
resource books, "Picture Perfect Science Lessons" by Karen
Ansberry and Emily Morgan (and published by the National Science Teachers
Association). Here are her three infographics centered around the
butterfly life cycle.
The focus picture book trio is:
- Houdini the Amazing Caterpillar by Janet Pedersen
- From Caterpillar to Butterfly by Deborah Heiligman
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Now head on over to Jama's Alphabet Soup where she has a gorgeous spread for Poetry Friday. See you there!
Next week, I'll be sharing nuggets from the 12th Annual Poetry Round Up at the annual conference of the Texas Library Association where my fabulous panel included Irene Latham, David L. Harrison, Janet Wong, Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, Stephen Swinburne, K. A. Holt, and Kwame Alexander. It was amazing!

The butterfly life cycle unit was a favorite of mine (and the kids!) when I taught first grade. Wish I'd had Jeannine's wonderful poem back then. I'll be sure to share it with the current first grade teachers.
Desiree did a beautiful job with these infographics!
