Welcome back for this weeks Literacy Snack Caterpillar Read Aloud idea. This weeks idea is sure to be a hit with the kiddos! We are reading an all time favorite, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

“One sunny Sunday, the caterpillar was hatched out of a tiny egg. He was very hungry. On Monday, he ate through one apple; on Tuesday, he ate through three plums–and still he was hungry. Strikingly bold, colorful pictures and a simple text in large, clear type tell the story of a hungry little caterpillar’s progress through an amazing variety and quantity of foods. Full at last, he made a cocoon around himself and went to sleep, to wake up a few weeks later wonderfully transformed into a butterfly!”

The kids will each be making their very own hungry caterpillar today!

To Assemble

Using the tomato as the head and the green grapes and the body, have the children arrange their caterpillar to their liking. Have them break their pretzel stick in half, and carefully poke each of them into the head (tomato) as the antennae. Help each child by putting just a dot of cream cheese on the back of their eyeballs and they can place them on the head.

Today's literacy snack read-aloud is Lucia Morning in Sweden. The book tells the story of Santa Lucia through the eyes of three children in modern-day Sweden. It describes their giddy activities, brought to life in colorful, full-page illustrations, and also provides sheet music, recipes, and sewing patterns for the costumes traditionally worn by children on this day when many Swedish people celebrate the legacy of Lucia and the coming of the light with coffee, saffron buns, ginger snaps, and wonderful singing. One of the most beloved and celebrated traditions of the Swedish people, Lucia Day also signifies that the Christmas holiday is getting close.Come and see the snack idea and grab the printable to go along with the book here primaryplayground.net/literacy-snack-lucia-day-read-aloud/ ...
