Little Crawlers | Insects, Arachnids, Annelids & Myriapods Unit Study
There is a whole world unfolding just beneath our feet in the garden, under stones, along the bark of trees. Our Little Crawlers unit study invites your child to slow down and truly look, to learn the names and habits of the small creatures that share our world, and to grow in wonder at the intricate lives of ten remarkable critters.
This Charlotte Mason inspired unit study covers insects, arachnids, annelids, and myriapods through rich illustrated pages, hands on activities, and living book style content designed to spark curiosity in children from Kindergarten through Grade 5.

What’s included:
🐛 65 page Unit Study: 10 individual critter studies featuring classification, life span, habitat, diet, fun facts, vocabulary, life cycle diagrams, and open ended activity suggestions. Critters include the Ladybug, Butterfly, Spider, Ant, Grasshopper, Mosquito, Earthworm, Cockroach, Millipede, and Scorpion.
📋 40 page Review & Activity Unit: Designed to be used alongside or after the study. Includes word wall matching, fill in the blank, true or false, count and graph, ABC bug ordering, bug scramble, sorting and classification, compare and contrast Venn diagrams, creative writing prompts, a bug research project, art and craft ideas, an observing insects page, and a full teacher guide.
🃏 Critter Flashcards: Included with all options. Ten illustrated info cards, one per critter, perfect for review, tray work, or nature table display. *Please note that for the printed & bound version, flash cards will come printed in one of your booklets and will not be cut out and laminated. We are working on providing this service for you but we aren't up to par on fancy printed flash cards yet. 

Also included in the review unit:
• Observation Record sheets
• My Critter foldable booklet
• Bug Dictionary activity
• Cut out bug figures for hands on sorting and play

What does this look like at each grade?
This unit is written with tiered content so that siblings can learn together while working at their own level. Here is what you should expect from each level:
🌱 Kindergarten: Your little one will listen to the critter pages read aloud, narrate back what they noticed, trace or copy a single word or short phrase, and use the cut out bugs for hands on sorting play. Activities are picture based and oral first.
📖 Grade 1–2: Early readers will begin reading short sections independently, copy one or two sentences of copywork, answer simple comprehension questions in their own words, and complete activities like true or false and the life cycle colouring pages.
✏️ Grade 3–4: Students work more independently through the vocabulary pages, fill in the blank activities, compare and contrast Venn diagrams, and begin forming written narrations and responses to the creative writing prompts.
🔬 Grade 5: Older students dig into the bug research project, write from multiple prompts, complete the word wall matching and bug scramble activities, and are encouraged to synthesize their learning through independent written responses and nature journal entries.

All grade levels can participate together through read aloud, discussion, and exploration as a family, then branch off to complete activities suited to each child.
