Let me just warn you... this little caterpillar isn't a quick little project.....I span this puppy over a two week time period while we are learning about butterflies (see the unit below)
One of the main reasons I L.O.V.E. it is because the kids get to do some of those quintessential kindergarten activities such as string painting and marble painting! Below you see a break down of what I did and you will notice the one below that is different. (The second one down doesn't have marble painting- I did "gadget" painting instead...the point is..change it up a little...that makes it even more fun!)
This year they were on the memory pockets:
In the past they have been on the board:
The first few days when the kids are painting the solid background colors I don't even tell them what it is for. They love to guess! Yet another reason I love doing this!
There are directions with everything you need- just hop over to go to my Facebook Page where you can grab this FREEBIE!
It is crazy how much these look exactly like his artwork from the book. TOO cute!!!

Thank you Jill! The kids had been sequencing the story, "The Very hungry Caterpillar" in groups. Each person wrote one sentence about each day of the week, such as, "On Monday he ate one apple." When we were done using these I added them to the board.

ReplyDeletePretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. I recommend you to read my article to know what is the benefits of touch typing and increase your typing speed test online. Touch typing is a skill that needs to be learned and it gets better when you practice using the right technique. Anyone who can touch-type will know all the letters on the keyboard through muscle memory.
This is really a great. I am glad that you shared this helpful information. Thank you for sharing. Check my article and get information on 7 Great Camping Activities for Everyone! Slow boat rides are a wonderful way to get away in the evening. A large canoe(some reach 17 feet or 5 meters) offers a roomy ride and some have mountain chairs in size for children. School-age children help paddle, while young children can play with waterproof toys. It can be fun to tie a toy to a wire and mix it with moving water. Don’t be surprised if the little ones calm down slowly and with the sounds of the water.
