We've begun exploring the parts of a story in Language Arts!
- Beginning: The characters, setting, and problem are identified
- Middle: Main character tries to solves the problem
- End: The problem is solved!
Together we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle.
Then we identified the parts of the story as a team:
After enjoying the book by Eric Carle, we closely examined his illustrations. Mr. Carle has a unique method for making designed, textured paper and then cutting it into the pieces for his pictures.
We followed Mr. Carle's paper-making technique to make butterflies! First we painted our paper. We added drips and drops in every colour!
See? No shortage of creativity in our class! Beautiful paper designs, kiddos!
Once our paper dried, we used tracers to cut out the shapes to make a butterfly. A little glue, and ta da! Colourful, Carle-inspired butterflies!
We'll continue to dig into the parts of a story and will move towards writing our own stories. What a wonderful week of reading, discussing, and creating!
