My daughter did a short study of Anne Frank these past couple of weeks. This week we are doing a project over the children in the Terezin ghetto-camp. I found The Butterfly Project through the Holocaust Museum Houston's website and we are going to join in.
To portray the 1.5 million children who died in the holocaust, the museum is collecting that many butterflies. We have decided to use the book "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" in conjunction with the museum website's teaching activities . Of course, as one student in a homeschool, my daughter will have to make all her butterflies. But I think the impact of the lesson will still be made.
After we finish our project at home, she will choose some of her favorite butterflies to send to the museum for their exhibition.
If your students are studying this time period, won't you consider joining in The Butterfly Project ?
