Sparkly Spiders

After learning about the parts of a spider (head, abdomen and 8 legs), Junebugs will use paper plates, paint, glitter and pipe cleaners to design unique spider decorations just in time for Halloween.

8 is Enough

Junebugs will practice counting to the number 8 by counting spider legs (pipe cleaners, black licorice, and pretzel sticks).

Thursday-October 13th

Spaghetti Spider Webs

Junebugs will love spinning spider webs out of cold spaghetti noodles!


Wacky Webs
Junebugs will cover marbles in paint and roll them all over a piece of construction paper.  They will be delighted to watch as the marbles leave paint trails that look just like a spider's webs.
  

Circle Time Routine

Educational. Social. Playful.

Greeting

Find and sit on your circle time mat.  Greet your friends with the song 'Hello Neighbor!'.  Read Fly High Little Bird.

Morning Stretch

"Point to your nose, reach down to your toes, wiggle your hips, and bend your elbows.  Reach up high to the sky,  reach down low to the floor, stretch to the window, and stretch to the door.  Whisper 'shhhhh' and sit quietly on the floor."

Morning Work

Calendar

Sing the "Seven Days In A Week".  Discuss today's theme and activities.

Weather

Observe the weather through the window and discuss proper clothing using flashcards.

Numbers

Count to 10 on your fingers.  Sing along with 'Ten Little Numbers'.

Letters

Sing the 'ABCs' with instruments.  Rap the 'ABC's' with Elmo.  Listen to 'Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom'.  Color the letter of the day (S is for spider) and glue it into your notebook.
