Introduction

• Since we just read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by
  Eric Carle as a class we know what the
  caterpillar in that story ate, so can you help
  our new friend find food? Did the caterpillar in
  the book eat mostly healthy food or unhealthy?
  We will use what we know to plan a healthy meal
  for our classroom caterpillar.

3
Task

• As a class we will re-read the childrens book
  The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. While
  we are reading the story, keep in mind the foods
  that the caterpillar ate to make him big and fat.
  We will discuss what he ate and which foods were
  healthy and which were not. Then we will make a
  healthy meal for new friend.

4
Process

• We are going to make a list of all the foods that
  the caterpillar ate in the story. Then we are
  going to graph them healthy or unhealthy. After
  we have made our graph you are going to go to
  your seats and draw a HEALTHY meal for our
  classroom caterpillar to eat.

Conclusion

• When you have finished putting together a healthy
  meal for our caterpillar to eat we will then
  re-group as a class and share our meal pictures
  with one another. You should all have made a
  healthy meal to get the caterpillar big and fat
  so he can become a beautiful butterfly.
