Ana, Lizette, Nancy and I (Shirley), liked the lesson Help the Very Hungry Caterpillar because we saw the interdisciplinary potential in this lesson. We liked that we could tie in reading: Read aloud, Science: Food groups, eating healthy, staying healthy, Math: Counting how many healthy/Non Healthy foods the caterpillar eats, Social Studies: Needs and wants: What does the caterpillar really need to survive and what does he want. Writing: Writing from the perspective of a caterpillar.
