The Very Hungry Caterpillar & the Days of the Week

Today we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Because it mentions the days of the week, I thought this would be a good time to review those with Arin. We also read Today is Monday and Day by Day a Week Goes Round.

In The Very Hungry Caterpillar, he eats a lot of fruit. So for breakfast this morning, Arin cut us up fruit and made a fruit salad. She used watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and cherries.

After breakfast, she painted the bottom of an egg carton, which we later turned into a caterpillar. We got that idea from No Time for Flash Cards.

While we were waiting for the paint to dry on the egg carton caterpillar, we sequenced food in the order which the caterpillar ate it. I also wrote the days of the week on each piece of food.

We also sang a days of the week song, to help Arin remember the correct order.
