K/1s Create Monarch Life Cycle

As the K/1s study the life cycle of the Monarch in class, they are working on a visual description in art class. After some initial experimenting with oil pastels, and listening to the book, Monarch Come Play with Me, by Ba Rae the students drew and cut out large monarch caterpillars. The leaf, chrysalis, and butterfly completed this project.
