Morning Meeting

The kiddos listened to a variety of spider stories including both fiction and non-fiction. We made a class chart together brainstorming words to describe spiders. Spiders can, are and have were the sentence starters we used. Also, the children did a nice job making their own spiders following 1-2 step directions. The glyphs are displayed in the classroom. A highlight from this week was building a giant spider web with rope.  The children worked together and had to carefully maneuver their way through the web without getting caught. 

Centers

Language Arts- Emergent reader spider story.  The children circled sight words and letters.  Also, math skills were tied into the book where the children had to recognize the number and draw the correct corresponding spiders on the page with dot stamps.  

Also, we dove into IPads this week with the letter factory and introduced the Bob series apps with games that coincide with the characters from the books.

Math- Children match the corresponding shapes on spider webs. 

Art- Spider glyphs

Fine motor- lacing cards

Journals- ‘Spiders like to..’  We brainstormed a few ideas together.

Circle time

We met our zoo friends Kayo Kangaroo and Lizzy Lizard. Also, we sang a new song (sung to the tune of I'm A Little Teapot):

I’m a little spider,

Watch me spin.

If you’ll be my dinner,

I’ll let you come in.

Then I’ll spin my web to hold you tight.

And gobble you up in one big bite!
