Ponte de Sor Classroom A
This activity started as a classroom
project for Ponte de Sor, classroom A.
Children chose to listen to the story “The
very hungry caterpillar” and then explore
it. The aim was to present it to children’s
families.
Then, in the third moment we started
preparing the dramatization of the story.
Children chose the characters they
wanted to play and memorized the
sequence and a simple text.
On the presentation day, the preschool
teacher read the story and children said
the text from the story (the days of the
week, the number, the food and the
structure “but he was still hungry”).
In a first moment the story was read and
explored in Portuguese and in English.
In a second moment we sang songs
with the music teacher, “a borboleta”, “a
lagarta”, and “Gosto de Flores/I like the
flowers”.
The presentation ended with a dance
about the story.
