Dear Families,
Please take a moment to check out SeeSaw! Your children created some amazing Eric Carle inspired artwork that they used to illustrate the life cycle of a butterfly through stop motion. I am absolutely in love with their artwork, and I am blown away by their understanding of Eric Carle's inspiration, process, and art.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Carla Teuchert
