It was a scary, spooky, spider-y world at preschool on Friday!
We got in the mood by reading this book:
A super fun pop-up book . . . kids love it!
We learned all about spiders and watched a movie about the largest spider in the world:
(BTW . . . that is an excellent site to explore animals with kids! Lots of great stuff!)
And we made our own spiders . . . from number 8's with 8 eyes and 8 legs!
Glueing and attaching all those eyes and accordian folding the legs was great for our fine motor skills, and as one child told me, "This is fun Ms Tamra! You always do fun stuff with us!" Ahhh. . . melt my heart :).
YIKES! My table is covered with drying spiders! These will be hung from the ceiling in our classroom for the spooky month of October.
Finally, here's a spider song:
(sing to "The Farmer in the Dell")
The spider spins a web
The spider spins a web
Round & round, up & down,
The spider spins a web.
She spins it in and out,
She spins it in and out,
Round & round, up & down,
She spins it in and out.
She spins it back and forth,
She spins it back and forth,
Round & round, up & down,
She spins it in and out.
She spins it good and strong,
She spins it good and strong,
Round & round, up & down,
She spins it good and strong!

She spins it in and out,

She spins it back and forth,
She spins it back and forth,
Round & round, up & down,
She spins it in and out.
She spins it good and strong,
She spins it good and strong,
Round & round, up & down,
She spins it good and strong!
