The Very Hungry Caterpillar By Eric Carle
The goals that I have for reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle in the classroom is because it is an excellent book that extends across the teacher kindergarten curriculum. By reading the book children can learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, proper food choices by introducing them to the Food Pyramid, number sense, even and odd numbers, making predictions, estimation and vocabulary. The students will also learn about the author, illustrator, and the title and make predictions as to why the author chose to write this story.
Objectives:

She will ask the students if anyone has every held a caterpillar before, and if so can they recall (Blooms-Knowledge) what it looked and also what it felt like in their hand.
2) Musical/Rhythm, Visual/Spatial, Intrapersonal The Teacher will explain to the students that we will be signing and learning a days of the week song, watching a video about healthy eating in order to incorporate everything on a “what did we eat” tracker for the week.
- The teacher will send an instruction sheet (Refer to Handout 3) home with the students in order for them to generate (Blooms-Synthesize) their “what did we eat” tracker.
- The teacher will put a due date on the assignment and once the assignment is turned in each student will briefly get the opportunity present their tracker to the …show more content…
The activity sheets that are provided with this lesson outline will also be able to give me an idea of whether the students retained the information or not.
B) Will grades be assigned and recorded?
-For this particular lesson plan grades will be assigned and recorded. Students will have 3 assignments that are incorporated with the reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
C) How does the strategy you demonstrate affects students that have reading and/or learning difficulties?
-The strategy that I have will affect some students with reading disabilities because some might fall behind while trying to do the closer butterfly activity that is assigned. I have personally seen some students that have trouble using the scissors or reading the numbers on the paper, which will cause them to get frustrated and not finish the assignment. Its my job as a teacher to provide more assistance to those students and reassure them that if they don’t finish than they will be given another opportunity to finish the assignment at home. This is where the parent/teacher communication comes in. Without the parent support than the child suffers even more as she moves
