On Tuesday 27th of February 2018, I read to the students “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” story by
Eric Carle, that took place in Sharjah International Private School, in Ms. Roopa’s KG2B
classroom. I chose this book because I saw it the most suitable to link it to their learning since
the students have been learning about fruits and know how to count forward from 1. I began by
reading the title and asking them to repeat after me, then we discussed a little about the cover
page while showing them the stuffed caterpillar toy and asking them: “What is the caterpillars
face/body color?” or “How many legs does the caterpillar have?”.
During the story, students will be asked to identify the pictures and count along with me. I used
this lesson to do a revision of what the students previously learned. I explained the worksheets
to the students, in the worksheet you will find 5 pictures along with prepositional phrases.
Students had to find the caterpillar and answer by choosing the correct preposition and writing it
down. During the closing time, I played the “What/where am I?” game where students took
guesses. Students responded the way they did because the only time they get to listen to a story
is the 15 minutes they go outside after lunch while they clean up the classroom. Throughout the
story, I would change my tone to keep the students engaged and ask them to count the food
shown.
I could enhance this lesson in the future by bringing the food mention in the story and place it on
the desk for display. I could also let students come up and read a single sentence, this way the
children will develop their language skills, enhances their concentration, and also encourage their
creativity and imagination. Reading books helps children to develop empathy, students identify
with the characters in the book and will be able to understand emotions.
