Ms. Beth's Newsletter November 4th, 2016

Classroom News 
This week we focused on Spiders and Bats.  We read The Itsy Bitsy Spider and Flying Bats, discussed traits of spiders such as 8 legs, 2 body parts, spins webs, eats insects, etc., learned what “nocturnal” is, discussed how bats live, made an itsy bitsy spider craft, drew spiders and bats for our journal page, and sang spider songs.  Our nursery rhyme was “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” with the vocabulary of spout, up/down, dry/wet and rain.  In our small groups, we sponge painted S’s, matched bats to caves to practice number and color recognition, and watched a video about spiders then made a hand print spider.  To start our week, we watched Room on the Broom and had a puffcorn treat.
