Our Summer with Eric Carle Stories... |
|
Eric Carle's stories
were the inspiration of our summer school projects. Because his stories
have simple, repetitive text, young children can easily read them on their own.
His stories also
contain many different sequences that kindergartners need to learn. (days
of the week, months
of the year, times of day, numbers, etc.) We hope that you enjoy seeing
what we made as much as
we enjoyed creating these projects and sharing them with you. If you want

Hungry Caterpillar
We made a giant class caterpillar. Each one of us made one C. They we connected them all to make our caterpillar. We also painted individual caterpillars using egg cartons and made beautiful butterflies. |

Our ladybugs weren't all grouchy. Some of us made them friendly. Their wing covers open and close so that they can fly.

them were happy, and some were angry at |
