Dear Caterpillar- Science uses Creative Writing

Year of Production 2014

Run Time: 4:06 min

Insect biology met creative writing in the 1st-grade classroom of Joan Patton, a superb teacher. Bonus: right across the fence from her classroom door was a huge crown-flower bush, favored host plant of the monarch butterfly. We went from poetry to story to scroll to a published book, one copy for each student and one for the school library.
