The Very Hungry Caterpillar Unit




"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was this year's Open House Theme:

Children were guided through the fun story, and then able to help read and perform the story once again using hand puppets.

This story is great for sequencing, counting, colors and much more

Caterpillars have been ordered and kids are anxiously awaiting their arrival. We have gone through the stages over and overs. The children are quite aware that..
1st you have the egg
2nd you have a tiny caterpillar
3rd the caterpillar eats lots and lots of food
4th the caterpillar makes himself a cacoon
5th the caterpillar sleeps for 2 weeks
6th the caterpillar breaks out of the cacoon and is a beautiful butterfly

We will continue on with many fun butterfly projects over the next couple of weeks. Today we made a sequncing sheet, and on Thursday we will be making coffee filter butterflys..

Fly away with your child and his/her imagination.. You will be surprised where you will end up....
