    Based on the story of "The very hungry caterpillar" we have made up a simple activity that can be done easily and through which the children will be able to learn the days of the week and counting numbers. Since they are missing the circle time activity which they usually have at play school, I have decided to create this simple yet engaging circle time activity at home.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. To learn the days of the week.

2. To enhance the counting skills

3. To indemnity the healthy foods and junk foods

4. To learn about the beautiful life cycle of a butterfly (egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly)

 

Direction:

    In our virtual class we began our day with the reading of the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". We then lead the kids through the counting of one apple, two pears, three plums, four straw berries, five oranges and ten junk foods (one chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon)

Through a small illustration of a little boy eating Junk food on a Saturday and having a stomach ache that night, we gave an insight on healthy eating to the kids and also taught them to identify junk food and healthy food.

After the story reading we sang the ‘Days of the week’ from  

"Super Simple Song"
