Activity of the Week June 1

Today's 2-minute activity

If you only have 2 minutes to spare, please consider trying the following:

We will continue working on the question word where and also location words like in front, between, beside/next to, behind, on, over, under. Choose a time that you have (suppertime, bathtime) and work on where. For example, you might review with your child where certain items are on the table. The plate is between the fork and knife, the plate is on the placemat. Or, you might discuss where to wash next. Perhaps it's time to wash behind your ears or in between your toes. But where is the soap? Oh! It's on the ledge.

All About Spiders

This book is non-fiction. That means that it will teach us things about spiders. There will be no characters, setting, problem, or solution.

Listen to this book to learn about spiders. Did you know that spiders are not an insect?

After listening to the book tell someone 2 things you learned about spiders.

Story Map

This story map can be printed and used to help retell the story. This is another opportunity to practice ordinal numbers. Who did the spider meet 1st? 2nd? etc. Your child can point to the character or colour them in as they retell the story.

Catch a Word

Can you help feed these hungry spiders? Guess what? They don't eat bugs, they eat words!

Parents-You may have to open this fun activity in a different tab.

Let's Look for Webs!

It's time to take a walk and look for webs. You might have webs in your house (try looking under the kitchen cabinets and in dark corners). You might find webs outside. Can you find a web? Go on a web hunt, then tell your parents where you found your web. Remember to use a long sentence. "I found a web under the cabinet," or "I found a web between 2 plants." Have fun!

*you can do this job in your home language. Be sure to use the very specific word for where you found your web

Alternative Activity:

If you haven't been able to find a web, try this instead!

First - watch the YouTube video and draw your very own web.

Next -hide your web around your house

Then - take turns with your parents to search (that means look) for your web

Last - tell your parents where you found/hid your web. You can even take turns asking each other the question, "Where did you find the web?"

Let's Sing!

What lesson on spiders would be complete without this classic song. Sing along. Do you remember the actions?

What about this song by Raffi? Have fun!
