Prep have been reading and exploring the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
It was written and illustrated by Eric Carle. The students have been learning how to sequence the days of the week in the correct order. They have also shown their ability to retell the story in their own words using a felt board and story stones. They have enjoyed counting all of the foods the caterpillar ate until he got a stomach ache! Prep students have had lots of fun using their fine motor skills to make their own hungry caterpillar necklaces. We have been making patterns on caterpillars and painting caterpillars.
The students will explore other books written and illustrated by Eric Carle throughout the rest of the term.
