Finch discovers why he can't swim in this clever story by Elizabeth Fox that explains to children how different animals and plants have varying external features that allow them to survive in their environments. Through an art project, students create their own portraits of various species thriving in an environment, all the while learning about primary and secondary colors, line, shape/form and texture.
Students in Sandra Posey's EWS 411: Education, Diversity and the Arts course created storytelling-based lesson plans which integrate multidisciplinary standards. These lesson plans were then implemented at the Boys and Girl's Club of Pomona Valley as a service-learning project. This lesson plan, by Elizabeth Fox, addresses California science and arts standards for first grade with an adaptation provided for Kindergarten.

2nd & 3rd Grade Lesson Storytelling Lesson Plan: Project Butterfly - See That Caterpillar Fly!
Students in Sandra Posey's EWS 411: Education, Diversity and the Arts course created storytelling-based lesson plans which integrate multidisciplinary standards. These lesson plans were then implemented at the Boys and Girl's Club of Pomona Valley as a service-learning project. The version here was created based upon California Content Standards (corresponding Colorado Standards are also included).
The attached lesson plan, by Olivia Barraza, explores the life cycle of the butterfly through both Eric Carle's A Very Hungry Caterpillar and Barraza's own equally imaginative "Lou's Story" wherein caterpillar Lou wonders why he doesn't look like his beautiful butterfly parents. Students learn how warm and cool colors evoke different moods and will explore this idea in creating their own storyboards, which then become the basis for their own storytelling performances.
California and Colorado cover life cycle in 2nd and 3rd grades, respectively, and corresponding standards are provided for each.
