This lesson plan outlines teaching kindergarteners about the life cycle of a butterfly. It begins with the teacher motivating students by singing a song about butterflies and asking guessing questions. The teacher will then read a story that describes each stage of the butterfly's life cycle from egg to caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly. Students will arrange pictures of the life cycle in order and answer comprehension questions. They will also act out sentences from the story. The lesson aims to teach students about the different stages and that all living things, including humans, go through life cycles where they eat, grow, and sleep.
