Last week in Writers’ Workshop we wrote books about butterfly life cycles. Students brought home their books for their family members to enjoy. Please admire your child’s special butterfly book. Here are a few student books.



Butterfly’s Life Cycle
By Brendan

You see this is a tree. There are butterfly eggs on it.

Caterpillars eat leaves. They also eat their egg shells.

Chrysalides hang until it turns into a butterfly.

Butterflies break out of their chrysalis. It spreads its wings until it can fly.

The Best Butterfly
By Isabela

First the mom lays the egg on the leaf.

The caterpillar comes out of a egg.

The caterpillar makes a chrysalis.

Then it will turn into a butterfly.

Life Cycle of a Butterfly
By John Michael

Some eggs are camouflaged. The butterflies lay their eggs under leaves.

Some caterpillars shed their skin. First they start as an egg.

Some chrysalises are different colors. The caterpillar sleeps in the chrysalis.

All butterflies are different colors. All butterflies sqeeze the blood in their thorax into their wings. The butterfly lays eggs everyday.

Butterfly Life Cycle
By Lily

The eggs lay on a leaf. Then the eggs turn into a caterpillar.

Caterpillar comes out of the egg. It eats his shell.

When the caterpillar is in the chrysalis it changes a lot.

The butterfly is an adult now. The butterfly lays an egg. Then the egg turns into a caterpillar. Then it starts all over again.
