Alphie the Caterpillar and Ballwin Days Parade

Alphie the caterpillar, who just might be friends with Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar, put on the Fredbird hat he made in the Pre-K class, and crawled off Claymont Preschool's wall to play ball in the Ballwin Days Parade on Saturday.  We followed behind St. Mark Presbyterian's VBS float, and were able to introduce Alphie to many of the parade watchers who had not met him before, since he just recently appeared on the Preschool wall and many parade watchers are already in elementary school.  Alphie is very good at numbers, especially 1 to 10, but he is confused about how his ERA is calculated.  He is very skilled at the alphabet.  He said he had a lot of fun with the large motor activity in the picture (Camaro convertible) and looks forward to being back on the hallway wall, helping lots of preschoolers learn their alphabet.
