Nursery Rhyme - Little Miss Muffet

Kaleb is working through the Literature Pockets - Nursery Rhymes as part of his kindergarten curriculum. This week's rhyme was Little Miss Muffet.

The rhymes lends to some Science exploration of spiders, of course! We read a ton of books on spiders and labeled the parts of a spider. This printable came from First Grade Garden (link below).

We discussed what a spider eats and how it eats it - who can say buggy milkshake? Kaleb compared what he eats to what a spider eats. He used this chart with printable pictures from First Grade Garden (link below).

He made a cute spider that we hung on the window.

He learned about the life cycle of a spider and created a simple chart for his literature pocket.

Then, Kaleb called Grandma and Grandpa, as well as asked who was afraid of spiders? He then graphed the results using the printable from First Grade Garden (link below).

He made cute spiders using paint and a tp roll. This idea came from Crafty Morning (link below). Kaleb enjoyed learning about spiders this week while learning Little Miss Muffet. I thought that he would not like learning about spiders but he truly loved it. Have a great day.
