You can purchase a package of washers at Home Depot for $2.68 and a package of magnets for $2.25. Set Humpty on a wooden "wall" and he's ready for some fun!
Here is an extension worksheet yours students can do. Let them choose whether to draw Humpty at the beginning of the story, middle of the story, or end of the story.
Michelle is the author of Teach123 and also contributes to the following collaborative blogs: Best Practices 4 Teaching, The Lesson Cloud, Common Core Kids, and Common Core Classroom. She has twenty years of teaching experience. Eleven of those years were spent teaching kindergarten.
Editor's Note: I just had a RoundUP of all things Humpty-Dumpty over at RainbowsWithinReach.
These other projects would certainly tie together PERFECTLY with Michelle's ideas!
That is very cool! What a great way to combine literacy and science- and my older kids could even measure those different distances, or how heavy the egg is at different times to add in the math component. This is inspiring- now if I can only come up with other ideas for other rhymes and fairy tales, I'll be golden.
