What a busy week it has been learning about caterpillars/butterflies. We have spent lots of time talking about the life cycle of a butterfly. We have read many books that helped us visualize and understand how they begin life as an egg, hatch to become a caterpillar and then spend some time in their chrysalis before they emerge as a beautiful butterfly! We read a lot of non-fiction books about butterflies and caterpillars...and learned some really cool information! One of our favorite books this week was The Very Hungry Caterpillar....below you will see some pictures of our re-telling of the story with flannel board pieces. For art this week we spread paint inside paper to make a butterfly, assembled a butterfly life cycle project and we created a caterpillar from The Very Hungry Caterpillar. At circle time this week we had some fun with a song which had us acting out the life cycle of a butterfly! The children had to sit still like an EGG, wiggle like a CATERPILLAR, sleep like a CHRYSALIS and fly like a BUTTERFLY! We will spend the next few weeks learning about animals at the zoo! We will also be tying up some loose ends and finishing up our portfolios!
