We will continue our letter lessons this week with letter Ss as it ties in so nicely with Halloween. Spooky, spider, and scary are just a few "s" words for Halloween. Can you come up with more?
The story The Very Busy Spider is a great one for our young readers as there is a repetitive line that the kids can "read" ("The spider didn't answer. She was very busy spinning her web.") We will begin our farm animal unit shortly so it is a great introduction for that. The spider is so busy spinning her web that she doesn't hear any of the animals. There are so many great Halloween stories, it was hard to pick! Our classroom library collection this week also includes: Ten Trick-O-Treaters, One Hungry Monster, Where the Wild Things Are, Goodnight Goons, Big Scary Monster, and Little Goblins Ten.
Smores start with letter Ss and you can make this scrumptious snack at home. See the recipe here. Other activities this week include painting a spider web using marble painting, and Halloween Party on Thursday.
