As the children listened to a reading of Waiting for Wings, by Lois Ehlert, they focused their attention on the symmetry of a butterfly’s wings. They enjoyed painting large symmetrical butterfly wings and are looking forward to wearing them when they release the butterflies in the garden on the backfield. Dressed as butterflies, the children wore their beautifully painted symmetrical wings and handcrafted butterfly masks and released the butterflies in our backfield. Before releasing them, the children speculated about the many places the butterflies might fly to and where they would find shelter if it rained.
