Ladybug Unit
Resource Book
A comprehensive thematic unit
(80-pages). The activities incorporate all areas of the curriculum.
Blacklines and patterns are included in the book. Two books are used to
guide the activities: The Very Grouchy Ladybug, Eric Carle and The
Ladybug and Other Insects, by Scholastic Publications.
LADYBUG UNIT ONLINE
The ladybug unit to download
online is free! It is available through School Express. You may
visit this site at: http://www.schoolexpress.com.
If you register, you will be notified of the units available to download every
few weeks. Great site. The content is for more advanced first grade
students through third grade. However, I use the material and ideas and dissect
the content for my classroom.

Eric Carle's book is the foundation
for my ladybug unit. We read, write, discuss, act, and enjoy this
story. The math components for the unit involve adding aphids, counting
ladybug spots, and telling time.

Ladybug's Birthday
This book is another wonderful
foundation for classroom activities using
literature. Scholastic publications
makes a big book package for this book. There
are big books, individual books, blacklines, a teacher's guide, and a reader's
theater/play for the students to perform based on this story. The birthday
theme can also be used as a birthday unit component. Last year my students
loved this book! Read more about this book at:

LADYBUG BOOKS
There
are many fiction and nonfiction books about ladybugs. The books mentioned
on this page I own, I have used, and I would recommend for K, 1, or 2 grades.
