If you missed this weeks story time here is what we did:

(*marks the books we read)

We colored a picture that featured a caterpillar and cocoon on one side and a butterfly on the other.

Extra activities:

We talked about the sound that the letter "B" makes and words that start with "B"

The Life of a Butterfly
(sung to "Skip to my Lou")

I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
What'll I be, my darlin'?

A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
What'll I be, my darlin'?

A butterfly, come fly with me,
A butterfly, come fly with me,
A butterfly, come fly with me,
Come fly with me my darlin'

Now all together, lets do all three
A caterpillar, A chrysalis, a butterfly --three
Move your body like this with me
The life of a butterfly, darlin'
