Future Classroom!

I would want to use "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in my future classroom! All of my little cousin's and children in my church love this book. I would like to use the book first all because it is cute, but is all packed with information. The book can be used as a science lesson because of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly and can be used as a health lesson because all of the junk food makes him sick. Also, can be used as a math lesson because of counting the food items. This book provides many opportunities to decorate the classroom and such. We could have a brainstorming time about a time when a child got extremely hungry. When did the child do? What did the child eat? Was it a healthy option? There are many routes to take with this fun book and I cannot wait to use it in my kindergarten classroom! :)

  1. A popular book among children and teachers! Great ideas for integration, just make sure you pair it with a couple of non-fiction books so children have a true understanding of the process ;)
