Math and Science connections that I am focusing attention on Humpty being an egg--

Eggs are oval-shaped.

Some animals reproduce by laying eggs.

Ask children if eggs are circles or ovals.

Animals that lay eggs include:

Chicken

Turtle

Fish

**************************Social Studies connection would be cultural traditions related to dying and decorating eggs.

****************

Additional topics to expand upon with this rhyme would be:

horses, communities, countries, types of rulers and leaders of countries, safety warnings about falling,

horses
