This week, Rebecca joined us for The Children's English Hour! To celebrate the last week of our summer series, we explored caterpillars, butterflies and lots of food...
...beginning with Eric Carle's The Hungry Caterpillar! Rebecca even created a wonderful song for the event describing how a caterpillar creates a cocoon and then emerges as a beautiful butterfly. We also sang the Friendship Song, The energy Song, and Bubble Pop - one of our all-time favorites about how various sea creatures move about in the water.
Then it was time for some creativity, to help strengthen our vocabulary. This weeks project was to make brightly colored butterflies!
We finished up with our summertime parachute song about Summertime bugs - a ladybug, a butterfly, a caterpillar, a bee, a dragonfly, and several flowers - that dance and fly on the parachute, and our stamp dialogue, which was about a green sun!
This week's creative project was accompanied by Yo Yo Ma playing Bach's Cello Suites - perfect butterfly music!
