Butterfly Marionette About a year ago, I wrote about how dinosaurs were all the rage with videoconference requests. This year, we have butterflies.  Butterflies each spring always seem to be popular, but this year- wooo! My inbox is blowing up with requests for the Center of Puppetry Arts‘ videoconference on butterflies.  Teachers who have never done a videoconference before are e-mailing me!  It’s really great.  Another bonus: the Center for Puppetry Arts puts on excellent programs. What a great way to start off videoconferencing in your classroom.  The center provides a learning guide online, and gives the teacher a list of materials needed for the program beforehand. Very interactive, very fun! …and they book up fast!


Some details about the v/c:

GRADE: K-2nd     PUPPET: Butterfly Marionette     PROGRAM LENGTH: 45-50 minutes

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Each student will construct a Butterfly Marionette while participating in learning activities about the lifecycle of the butterfly, what makes a butterfly an insect, and coloring and camouflage. Video clips and photographs of the different stages in the life of a butterfly are included. This is a great arts and science lesson all in one!

The butterflies are swarming!!! Glendridge in Clayton is doing this v/c three times; Craig in Parkway is doing this v/c four times; Castlio in Francis Howell is also going this v/c four times….

…. Independence in Francis Howell is doing the West Africa v/c with the Center for Puppetry Arts two times! The e-mails are flying back and forth between me, Deborah and Patty!!
