caterpillars and ordinal numbers
Book:
Activity: pom pom number caterpillars
This book is great for practicing ordinal numbers! I printed off numbers 1 to 10 and had my daughter make her own caterpillars on the numbers. While she did this we talked about ordinal numbers: which one is first, second, third, etc. I didn't have her glue them because I want her to be able to do this activity again if she wants.
Snack: candypillars
I found a cute idea from the Celebration Shoppe to use rollos and M&M's, but I wanted something a little healthier. I used banana slices and the white chocolate M&M's. I used peanut butter to stick the candy on, but Nutella would be good too I bet.
5 components of reading suggestions:
{phonemic awareness}
have your early bird break up the word "caterpillar" into it's syllables; practice clapping, stomping, snapping, and counting the syllables
{phonics}
point out to your early bird the "r"s in caterpillar change the sound of the e and a; have your early bird find other words that the r changes it's sound, for example: horn, bird, garden, butterfly, cardinal
{fluency}
have your early bird help you read the first part of each page; "the ___ little caterpillar"
{vocabulary}
have your early bird practice recognizing ordinal numbers; print off the words or numbers and put in order
{comprehension}
quiz your early bird on what each caterpillar did
