Using "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in the classroom

In my future classroom I would like to use The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. This book has always been a favorite of mine. I have always wanted to use this book in my classroom, after thinking about how I could use this book in my classroom I realized it could cover many different subject areas. There are many themes in The Very Hungry Caterpillar: the life cycle of a butterfly, the days of the week, counting and nutrition. There are many activites a teacher could do in a classroom with this book. For a math lesson-have a graph of all the different foods the caterpillar ate and have each student place an X under the column of the food which they would eat. For a science lesson have the students do a sequencing activity placing the correct cycle of a butterfly. For language arts create a classroom book called "The Very Hungry Kindergartner," each student can create a page for the book which includes a month and the food that the kindergartner ate in that month. With this activity students can focus on phonics, writing, and math. The teacher could ask questions about the sequencing of the story, and asking about the different foods which the caterpillar ate.
