A Flutter Of Butterflies PDF Download

Flitter, Flutter Butterfly—written by Sandra Rye Baggett—is an illustrated children’s book that includes material suitable for children of all ages. The inspiration for Sandra’s book came from her five-year-old granddaughter who asked her to write a butterfly song. Sandra sang the song with her grandchildren for years and used it as part of a unit for her kindergarten classes. The book provides an integrated learning experience for children, inspiring inquiry through the study of nature. Activities are included to help parents and teachers adapt to the child’s learning style. Some of the experiences provided include —questions to practice observation skills, —the life cycle of the butterfly, —journal pages allowing the child to chart butterflies/moths seen in the wild, —music to accompany the butterfly song, and —art activities. Nancy Vinson Nave, retired art teacher, beautifully illustrates the book. Sandra and Nancy were childhood classmates, and they taught in the same school system. It is their hope that parents and teachers will enjoy sharing this book with young children as much as they have enjoyed creating it.
