Very Hungry Caterpillar

Our awesome WMU student, Mrs. Griffey, presented her first lesson today.  It was a read aloud/think aloud on The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  She did a great job and the students were very excited by the lesson.

She started out in a whole group by having the students review the days of the week and put them in order.  She made really nice felt backed materials for her presentation.

Next, she read the story...

Then she had the students retell the story using the felt pieces that she brought...

Next we broke into our literacy center rotations.  In her small group, she did a story response activity where the students had to draw what they would eat each day of the week.

Great job Mrs. Griffey!
