The students pretend to be flowers with open hands welcoming the butterfly to different points on the migratory path as acted out in a large open space following immediately by learning how to make their own caterpillar & butterfly puppets in the classroom. In our first session in the classrooms we will create our caterpillar & butterfly puppets. The students will view images of monarchs & more butterflies in the region along with their caterpillars in order to figure out how they want to depict these creatures from paper, tape, markers and rods. When time allows at the end of the hour the students will work in three groups, representing each generation of butterflies on this great migration. They will present this drama and the teacher can document it to share and playback for the students to see later in the classroom for reflection. Discussions will vary based on grade level and the way it relates to their core curriculum.

1 hour total 45 minutes in Classrooms students will construct puppets at their tables/desks after I introduce the program on the rug. Final 10 minutes - Auditorium or open space suitable for movement, although we have used the classroom, and it worked very well!
