Watch the story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"by Eric Carle.
Here are some questions you can ask after your child finishes the story:
What happened at the beginning of the story? (The caterpillar popped out of an egg)
What day comes after Monday? (Tuesday)
How did the caterpillar feel after eating too much food? (He felt sick)
What did the caterpillar look like when he was finally full? (a big fat caterpillar)
What did the caterpillar become at the end of the story? (a butterfly)
What is your favourite thing to eat? Why? (e.g. I like to eat ice-cream because it is sweet and cold)
Complete the sequencing activity to show how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. If you don't have a printer you can have your child point to the picture that belongs FIRST, NEXT, THEN, LAST.
In the story, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", the caterpillar ate a lot of healthy food to help his body grow. But, on Saturday the caterpillar ate a lot of unhealthy food and then he had a stomach ache. Sometimes it is OK to have foods that are unhealthy, like candies, cookies and other treats, but we should eat these kinds of treats in small amounts, once in a while. There are also lots of healthy foods that are great to have as treats every day, like fruit and yogurt. Look at the Canada's Food Guide below to learn more about healthy eating.
Canada’s Food Guide tells you what kinds of foods to eat and how much. There are four food groups. We need to eat foods from all four groups. Each kind of food gives something very important to our body.
Check out this video to learn more about healthy food choices.
Print out this activity to sort food items that are healthy and unhealthy. If you do not have a printer, ask your child to point to the pictures of healthy foods.
Watch the video below to learn about words that rhyme. Then, print off the activity sheet and circle the two words in each group that rhyme. (If you do not have a printer, simply have your child point to the two words that rhyme in each group.)
