Activities

Growing Caterpillar Reading Tracker

A caterpillar on the wall of the classroom will grow throughout year as students read (or are read) books. Any book read by or to a student can count (Accelerated Reader (AR), at home favorites, those read in class, etc.).

Students, parents, and/or Ms. Danhi, write on one paper circle caterpillar segment [where do we get them?] for each book read:

• Title
• Author
• Rating by Student [format (up/down, 1-5, their own words, etc.)?]

If a paper circle caterpillar segment isn't available, a read book's information should be added to the student's Reading Record [or Reading Log?] [Should it stay in thier folder?] [Did October's have pumpkins to color?], to be later copied to a paper circle caterpillar segment.

Finally, paper circle caterpillar segments, each with information on a book read by or to a student, are placed on the wall to make the caterpillar grow. Exciting!
