Comments:

·         The best part of the presentation was…. Feeding the caterpillar.

·         From this presentation I learned…. The life timeline of a caterpillar. Interactive ways of telling the story (pop-up book and the activity).

·         My questions for the presenters is…. What activities could stem from this for the cocoon or butterfly?

·         In future the presenters should…. Could use real fruit to reinforce dietary needs as well.
