This week is all about insects! Today our 3s enjoyed the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle. It is surely a best loved book for preschoolers. After reading, we re-told the story by acting out each stage of the butterfly's life cycle. We curled up to be the egg, crawled around to the be the caterpillar, went into our "house" for a cocoon, and finally, we emerged from our cocoon and stretched our new, wonderful wings. We even learned a new, very big word: metamorphosis! During centers we make pom pom caterpillars and placed them in a paper bag cocoon. Hopefully, they will come out soon and show us their new wings!
We also had a "Very Hungry" snack...
That caterpillar must have eaten right through our cheese...
strawberries...
and cupcakes.
Then, just like the caterpillar, we all got tummy aches! Not to worry, Mrs. Georgia gave us all a "leaf" to eat, which made us feel all better!
