Kaya and Anna Lee joined the Beetle class as helpers today. During circle time, we read the Eric Carle story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". We talked about how our very own caterpillars are on the way to us in the mail. We will be receiving ten live caterpillars and their food sometime next week.
Kaya and Anna Lee remember our caterpillars from last year so they were able to talk to the Beetles about how they will be very tiny when they first arrive.
They will eat their food and grow bigger and bigger, just like the caterpillar in the book. They will then build a small house around themselves, called a cocoon.
They will stay that way for a few weeks until they slowly start to come out....
becoming beautiful butterflies!
