Below is a general layout of my Spider Unit curriculum for preschoolers.
- The Itsy Bitsy Spider (One of my favorites to sing instead of just read!)
- Little Miss Muffet Counts to Ten
- Little Miss Muffet Counts to Ten
EDUCATIONAL BOOKS:
WORKSHEETS:
- MAKE YOUR OWN SPIDER STORY/SONG
^^^I created this printable because I felt the unit study needed an assignment that encourages creativity. It occurred to me that most preschoolers are familiar with the song "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." This printable allows for young children to fill in their own ideas and create their own version of the song. Your child can dictate their ideas to you, and it does not need to rhyme or make sense. That's part of the fun! Don't forget to sing it out loud for your students. ;) Enjoy!
