What we did at work this week. And by we, I mean not me; because, I have no crafting talent. I made the grapes and punched the leaves. Oh, and offered my van for transport to the school sites.

This story is an incredible teaching tool when talking about concepts of print and days of the week
“On monday he ate through one apple. But he was still very hungry.”
pickThis story is a classic by the legendary artist Eric Carle. It follows a caterpillar who weaves his way seemingly in and out of the book through many different foods. The illustrations are beautiful and fun to observe as well as the flow of the book.
I would use this to introduce the caterpillars lifecycle. It also dives into how to navigate tough situations with friends.
pickWeek 3: Graphia. Such an interesting story that even gives students invite to a caterpillar life‘s cycle. The illustrations are so colorful and engaging. Love! Published in 2023.
“But he was still hungry.“ This phrase is repeated throughout the book, engaging young readers. It shows the caterpillar's constant hunger as it grows, providing a fun and rhythmic element to the story.
I would use this book to teach the life cycle of the butterfly, learning days of the week, or as a math activity.
