Set A L5-B10 The Classroom Caterpillars
On Friday morning, Katie came to school with a caterpillar in a box.
She had some leaves in the box, too.
Katie said to Miss Park, “I will look after this caterpillar. Can it stay in our room?”
“My caterpillar likes eating swan plant leaves,” said Katie.
Miss Park said, “Look under this leaf. Here are some little white eggs. Tiny caterpillars will come out of the eggs.”
On Monday morning, Katie came to school with a swan plant in a pot.
“Look!” she said to Anna.
“Some little caterpillars have come out of the eggs!
They can eat this swan plant, too.”
All that week, and the next week, the tiny caterpillars nibbled at the swan plant leaves.
The caterpillars got bigger and bigger and bigger!
They nibbled more and more leaves!
“Look at the plant now!” said Katie.
“The leaves have all gone! We have no more swan plants for them to eat.”
“Oh, no!” said Anna.
“The caterpillars are still hungry!”
“Caterpillars will eat pumpkin,” said Miss Park.
“I can get some pumpkin from home,” said Katie.
The little caterpillars liked eating the pumpkin.
But Katie’s big caterpillar was not hungry any more.
It was under a leaf.
“My caterpillar is making it’s chrysalis,” said Katie.
“It’s going to be a butterfly one day,” said Anna.
