The Very Hungry Caterpillar Mini Unit

009

I wanted to take a few minutes and share my Very Hungry Caterpillar mini unit with you. I am really excited to use this with my first graders in a few weeks!

It is listed on Teachers Pay Teachers for $5.00.

Here is the link: VHC Mini Unit

It’s a great pack to use and has several follow up or independent activities to use with your students.

Here is what is included:

001

Sequence events from the story.

Cut then glue in order.

Sorry for the bad picture.. I should know better than to take pictures of white paper on a white table…

 

002

Word Search, Comprehension questions, days of the week paper and life cycle of a butterfly worksheet

003

Story retelling cards- there is one for each day of the week plus the four life cycle cards (egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly)

004

ABC order using the foods the caterpillar “ate through”. A recording sheet is available.

005

Unscramble the sentences and a recording sheet.

006

Colored and black and white versions of a story word list

009

There are 9 different activities in this mini unit.

Have a great Sunday! My Sprig Break is over and back to work I go tomorrow. I am NOT ready to get up and get dressed everyday. It is also our testing week and I am not a big fan!!!

But, I am ready to see my chick-a-dees and learn about dinosaurs this week!

And a dog update: all is good so far. She is behind her covered doghouse. So, I have to crawl in to see the pups. So, we can’t see much. No pictures yet! We went from fostering one sweet little dog to 9 in a few hours.. yikes!

xoxo, kacey

  8. I love your things, and have passed your blog addy to the first grade teachers at my school. Question--is there any way you would be willing to change cocoon to chrysalis? I know that Eric Carle explains that there is actually one rare species of butterfly that makes cocoons, but all other butterflies emerge from chrysalids (where they have peeled off the top layer of skin to expose the shell underneath). The rest of the caterpillars who make cocoons become moths. We teach the butterfly lifecycle, so is there any way you would be willing to change the cocoon to chrysalis for us?
    Just curious,
