Lesson Title: Coffee Filter Butterflies
Grade Level: PK Circle one: ECE PKSN
Assessment of Student Learning Learning Experience
Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data Academic Language: Mixing, artwork, coloring,
to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and demonstrate, observe, fine motor
skill?)
Procedural steps:
Did the students finish their artwork? (yes/no) 1. Put a smock on each child if desired
2. Give students a flattened-out coffee filter and markers
and tell them to color the coffee filter
Did students see colors mix? (yes/no) 3. Demonstrate by making your own
4. Use a spray bottle to spray to coffee filter with water
(over the sink or another safe surface that won’t
stain)
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile 5. Point out to children how the colors run together and
your evidence into a class or group view?) change
6. Pinch the middle and place a clothes pin to hold it like
that
Check List 7. Add a folded pipe cleaner for antennas, ask children
to shape them
Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real life, hands-on
materials.)
Markers
Clothes pins
Pipe cleaners
Coffee Filters
Spray bottle
Water
Adult Roles:
Provide students with materials
Demonstrate to students how to make a butterfly by creating
your own
Aid with spray bottle, pipe cleaner or clothes pin

Reflection: (What have you learned about your students? How will this inform future instruction?)

I offered this art lesson as an option for my students during work time (centers) at the art table. Only about half of the class chose to participate. They all

participated from start to finish, used fine motor skills, and observed colors mixing. I originally was going to use an eye dropper with food coloring mixed with water,

but I decided to change it up, so I wouldn’t have to spend any money and could work with what I already had. One issue that arose was that the Crayola markers

stained. I used markers that they had in the classroom not realizing how messy they were. I sprayed the coffee filter on the table thinking it would be fine and I

could just wipe the ink up, but it was not coming off. I did the rest of the butterflies over the sink. I helped students spray their coffee filters because it was hard to

press down. I think all the students enjoyed the visual art project and met all the standards. Some of them were bringing their friends over to show off what they

had made.
