Spiders, Bats, and Pumpkins, Day Nine

Today’s art is pretty straightforward. Just paint the 3-D art from yesterday! Let your students choose the color of paint that they want to use, either verbally or using Boardmaker symbols. Remember to have them use their Boardmaker symbols to request the items that they will need for painting, too! Provide a variety of paint colors-don’t limit your students’ choices based on what is “normal” or “real.” Remember that this is preschool land, and kids don’t see everything through our eyes!

For math center today, provide your students with strips of paper showing patterns of pumpkins, spiders, bats, candy corn, etc. You can use stickers or clip art to make the patterns. You can have the students extend the patterns using laminated cards, concrete objects (spider rings, cream pumpkins, etc.) or you can have them create a work sample by using stickers to extend the pattern.
