Annual The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day!

Today is the first day of Spring and also the annual The Very Hungry Caterpillar Day!  This year marks the 45th Anniversary of this classic book by Eric Carle.  So we celebrated today:


The Very Hungry Caterpillar marshmellow painting!

Building The Very Hungry Caterpillar by putting the days of the week in order!

Making The Very Hungry Caterpillar hats!

Roll & Draw The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Once we finished our marshmellow painting, we drew some things he eats in the book.  Here, Blake adds a speech bubble: "I'm full."  Love it!


Caterpillar Patterns!

Want to enjoy the book at home together?!  Take a look:

Eric Carle himself reading the book:


Today, your little reader also received his or her Book Package!!!  FINALLY!  :)  Thanks for your patience.  They all promised me they would read tonight, so when you see your child's "I'm a Very Ready Reader," ask him or her to read to you!

I encourage you to take some time to read the information that is included.  I will post more on using this Book Package at home soon.  But, until then JUMP ON INTO READING!
