DON'T FORGET about our upcoming student special: "Spider Insider"
Special multipoint connection for PreK and KDG students.
Come one, come all, if you dare. Spiders, spiders, EVERYWHERE! This interactive lesson is perfect for fall holiday integration. PreK-K students will enjoy music, literature, and science all wrapped into 1 fun and interactive lesson. Spider Insider includes activities that practice letter recognition, rhyming words, sorting /classifying, and fine motor skills. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore these creepy crawlers with a bad reputation!
Here is a brief list of topics explored during this program:
1. Program begins by showing students the letter “s” and discussing the sound it makes
2. Group discussion/brainstorm “How are spiders and insects different?”
3. Story time – I knew an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly
4. Identify rhyming words
5. Identify and recall story order
6. Sorting/classification activity
