TODAY WAS FILLED WITH CATERPILLARS IN PRE-K "A" FROM ARTIFICIAL TO REAL...
During Free Choice, children painted a section of an egg carton which we will be making into caterpillars.

While out on the playground, some children found a live caterpillar...
We learned facts and information about caterpillars, including:~whether or not they can see well.
~what the word caterpillar means ("hairy cat").
~identifying what might be predators or enemies of the caterpillar. (One child identified a shoe as an enemy of a caterpillar, explaining that a person might accidentally step on a caterpillar with his/her shoe.).
~ways a caterpillar can scare off its enemies.
In the photo below are food items which represent the a few of the different kinds of eggs from which a caterpillar hatches.
We ended our morning watching a brief video of a live caterpillar emerging from its egg and then eating its egg shell. It was amazing! We will post this video on our blog later this week so that you can access it at home and watch it with your children.
