We admired glitter spider webs that older elementary students made with Mrs. Sweet, and decided to make our own. We used glue and silver glitter to create our own representations of spider webs!
We enjoyed many Halloween-themed activities in preschool! We read the book Go Away, Big Green Monster by Ed Emberly, and watched it on our smart board. Then, we worked on spatial understanding, sequence of events in a story, and fine motor skills by making our own big, green monsters! Just like the sequence in the story: Two big yellow eyes... a long bluish greenish nose... a big red mouth with sharp white teeth... two little squiggly ears... scraggly purple hair..." We learned and practiced The Itsy Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme. We watched it on our smart board, and used our body and hands to make movements as we sang the song. We read The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Iza Trapani. The book has many more verses that the original nursery rhyme song. Nursery rhymes and books with a lot of rhyme, rhythm and repetition help children learn language patterns quicker, and more easily.

Mrs. Greenwood visited us during story time, and read The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams. We had so much fun singing, using fine motor skills, and gross motor skills to help tell the characters and events in the story.
