The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Kindergarten students listened to The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Students painted a piece of white paper green and added colorful dots to the green paper. Next time, students traced 5 circles to the back of the green paper. Students cut out the circles and arranged them onto large construction paper. Students also used construction paper scraps to create the caterpillars head. At last, students used construction paper crayons to create the feet and "fuzzies" along the caterpillar's back.



Superheroes and Villans

Fifth grade students first drew a stick figure, then added muscles to give their creation some mass. Then students added clothing to complete their superheroes and villans.
