Caterpillars and Butterflies Letter "W"

The letter W is one of those weird letters, that it's sound doesn't sound anything like the letter. However the children didn't disappoint on show and tell. We had a Wolf tee-shirt, Whale stuff animals, the X-Men's Wolverine poster, coloring book and stickers, and last but not least, a favorite was a Walgreen pen that each of the children got to keep (thanks Mathews Dad).



The puppet was no surprise, a Whale, and for a snack we got sticky eating Waffles.





The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle, was read today. And we looked at many pictures of different butterflies. We used our fingers to paint dots onto a large paper leaf to make a caterpillar. We then tried to punch holes into the leaf to look as if the caterpillar had eaten it (a difficult task because the hand muscles aren't quite strong enough yet). We then painted our hands to form wings and glued a head shot of ourselves to the wings. Our Butterflies were silly with our faces.
