This week we learned about BUTTERFLIES AND CATERPILLARS.
Books we read:
The Crunching Munching Caterpillar, by Sheridan Cain and Jack Tickle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle
Projects we did:
Caterpillars
We painted egg cartons and then added eyes and pipe cleaner antennae.
Butterflies
We decorated butterfly wings with tissue paper and used pom-poms to make the body.
Butterfly Paintings
First we painted only one half of our papers. Then we folded them in half to make symmetrical butterfly wings.
What we learned:
We learned that caterpillars are baby butterflies. Baby caterpillars eat a lot of food, and then they make a cocoon. When they come out of the cocoons they are not caterpillars anymore. They are beautiful butterflies.
Please note that if your child doesn�t come every day, he or she may not have done all of the projects that week.
