The Very Hungry Caterpillar ~ Week of February 23, 2015

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by: Eric Carle
 Preschool News
Week of February 23, 2015

This week we began our new Author Study unit focusing on Eric Carle.  We learned that Eric Carle writes and illustrates children’s books.  Some of Eric Carle’s most recognizable children’s books include “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you See?”, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “The Very Busy Spider”, “The Grouchy Ladybug” and “From Head to Toe”.

During our circle time discussion we talked about how Eric Carle loves to use a lot of different colors in his illustrations and many of his stories are about animals.  We also learned about collages.  A collage can be made using magazines, newspapers, ribbons, paint, paper, portions of other artwork, photographs, and other found objects.

If your child has a favorite Eric Carle book at home that they would like to share with their classmates please feel free to send them in (please label your child’s book)!

Next Wednesday (3/4) and Thursday (3/5) we will be having a VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR Sharing Snack Day!

Your child will be given 2 choices of a fruit or food item that they are invited to bring into school on that day to share with their friends.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Miss Becky
