SPIDER WEEK 2018
This week is Spider Week. We will introduce spider songs/finger plays as well as continue with apple/leaf/pumpkin songs.
With the spider we will be talking about webs – home for a spider. We will talk about other homes for animals – nests, holes, caves, etc. We will talk about their home. During the week you can show your child webs outside in the garden. With the rainy mornings it will be perfect for finding webs outside. Look for nests in the trees now that the leaves have fallen. Ask your child where he/she thinks the birds live during the winter, where do the spiders go when it is cold and what kind of homes different pets have. We will continue to talk about homes as we move into Thanksgiving and family celebrations.
