We Can Too!

How does it feel to not get it right the first time? Is failure the end of the road, or just the beginning? This outdoor workshop invites students to see mistakes and difficulties in a new light, using examples from the natural world. We’ll follow the adventures of our puppet, Cate the Caterpillar, as she navigates the sometimes-treacherous journey to becoming a butterfly.

This program encourages students to adopt a growth mindset and to discover their own unique gifts. Click here to learn more about our Butterfly Cycle framework.

My class really enjoyed the program! Stephanie did such a wonderful job and is a natural with the students! I would definitely be interested in another program with Thimbleberry Learning.
