The Butterfly
by Carrie Sue Ayvar
La Mariposa / The Butterfly is a folktale known throughout Latin America that explains why butterflies do not live in houses and why they migrate.
With a focus on visualization and vocabulary, this project begins with students listening to Carrie Sue’s story La Mariposa / The Butterfly and other recommended bilingual (Spanish/English) read-alouds. Project suggestions include an optional environmental / art activity in which students learn about butterfly migration and create a butterfly wall, complete with habitat.
