A Place for Butterflies
was
originally published in 2006, but was revised and updated in 2014, so it has
the latest information about the challenges butterflies face and how we can do
simple things to help them survive.
You
could share one or two spreads to support NGSS PE K-ESS3-3 or read the whole
book as part of a lesson that addresses NGSS PE 5-ESS3-1.
I have also created a Teacher’s Guide that
makes connections to a wide variety of NGSS and Common Core standards. You can
find additional activities, including a life cycle song, here.
This book is great for Reading Buddies programs. For
more information, read this article and look at the materials on
my CCSS ELA RIT #1 & 2: Reading Buddies pinterest board. I also have a pinterest board devoted to A Place for Butterflies.
The
main text of A Place for Butterfliess has
both a cause & effect text structure and a problem-solution text structure,
while many of the sibdebars compare past human activities that hurt butterflies
to current more butterfly-friendly activities. That makes it a great mentor
text for students learning about nonfiction text structures.
