One of my all time favorites is Eric Carle's, The Hungry Caterpillar. It is one of those books that you never get tired of reading aloud. This week, not only did we read the book, but we also studied the parts of an insect. My students love to sing, so we learned the parts of an insect to the tune of a Dr. Jean song. They had to sing some pretty big words like: thorax and abdomen. I wish I would have recorded the class learning how to say abdomen. We took it real slow: AB- DO- MEN. But, it came out many times like AD-oh-Man. We also learned about how the caterpillar builds a cocoon. One of our students went home and told mom that they went to CANCUN! Cocoon/Cancun...the same thing, right? There is never a dull moment in our room!
You will also see a picture of our students doing a writing activity. We dipped Q-tips in paint and used them to trace the letters. This was a big hit. I think we will do this activity again really soon.
Until next time,
Mrs. Weathers
