Last week when I said my class was doing butterflies and caterpillars for the week I mentioned an activity we would be doing for The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I got this idea from my friend Meghan who teaches at a school in Maryland. One day she posted pictures of this activity and I thought it was so adorable!
After reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the students were asked what they would eat if they were really hungry. Some had ideas like those in the story, some had other ideas. The students wrote what they would like to eat and then drew a picture of it.
We painted paper plates green and then glued on our pictures. I took all the paper plates to make them into a caterpillar. One for the AM class and one for the PM class. The students love finding their work in the hallway when we walk by and the caterpillars came out super cute!
