Days of the Week - Revised
Fall is a good time to introduce the concept of the days of the week during preschool storytime. There are many great stories featuring the days of the week, including Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. For a craft project, make a paper caterpillar shown here: 40 Fun & Creative Very Hungry Caterpillar Activities and Crafts - Education Corner.
