Description

Teaching the difference between spiders and insects can be challenging. However,  these creative teaching resources make it fun and simple.

Using the familiar Mother Goose rhyme and the character of Little Miss Muffet, students learn that insects and spiders are different. In addition, they’ll discover that these bugs make a fascinating study.

Little Miss Muffet Learns the Difference Between Spiders and Insects

The downloadable guided reading book and PowerPoint Show make a great addition to your classroom or homeschool library. That is to say, it includes illustrations by award-winning author and illustrator, Dawn Stephens.

Teach about the difference between Spiders and Insects with Little Miss Muffet

Activities, worksheets, and assessments are included in the teacher’s guide. Therefore, after reading what Little Miss Muffet learned, children can demonstrate their own knowledge. For instance, they will be able to build a model of an insect and a spider.

Moreover, the resource includes three sections for holistic teaching. There are lesson plans for spiritual, social, and academic growth. Biblical integration is easy with the spiritual growth section. Likewise, the social growth section provides ways to help children get along with others. Lastly, the academic section integrates reading, writing, and math standards.
