our April Door

Since we are learning about life cycles this week, we have decorated our door and the lunch area with Very Hungry Caterpillar decor. We used the hand and footprint butterflies from Tuesday to complete our door.

I painted the caterpillar, food, and butterfly several years ago and they have survived another year to decorate the school.

And you may not can tell, but they are hung in the correct order in the book. :)

We made pattern caterpillars today. First we decided what two colors we wanted to use. Then we glued the pieces in a pattern onto the caterpillar's body.

Then each student wrote the word caterpillar on their paper. (I got involved and only remembered to take one pic!)
