QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Don't worry that children are never listening to you.
Worry that they are always watching you."
- Robert Fulghum
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
1. ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
ITSY BITSY SPIDER SEQUENCING CARDS:
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/rhymes/seq/itsybitsy.shtml
If you are learning the Itsy Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme
this month, then try these story sequencing cards for
your students. They will need to cut out their cards
and place them in the correct order, according to the
song. Students can glue the cards on to construction
paper to make them more durable.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
2. THEMATIC UNITS
PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES FOR A MULTICULTURAL THEME:
http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/multicultural.htm
Start with a passport, complete with your students' pho-
tos, for exploring a multicultural theme in your preschool
classroom. Students can dress up according to the countries
you study, or the country their ancestors are from. Then
create a Native American Symbols bulletin board, follow-
ing the instructions given here, learn about the Talking
Stone, and pursue several other cultural learning inves-
tigations here.

3. TECHNOLOGY AND TOTS
ONLINE CONNECT THE DOTS:
http://www.EnchantedLearning.com/cgi-bin/Dots.cgi/bat
Do your students know their alphabet? If so, they can
click on the letters in order here to produce a picture
of a bat, perfect for Halloween learning and fun. If they
are not yet familiar enough with the alphabet sequence,
then give them an alphabet strip by their computer moni-
tor in order to help them out.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Extra acorns can be colored and pasted on the oak tree.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
6. LESSONS AND SKILLS
NATIVE AMERICAN STORYTELLING BLANKET:
http://www.kinderart.com/littles/blanket.shtml
Use brown butcher paper or a large roll of brown wrap-
ping paper to construct a whole class "blanket". You
can either draw and color on the symbols, or look in
magazines to cut and paste them onto your blanket. Then
have your preschool students create their own story to
accompany their art project--let them act it out along
with music for an extension of this exercise.
NATIVE AMERICAN FRIENDS:
http://www.makingfriends.com/friends/f+native_american.htm

along with hair variations and clothing--on cardstock.

create a skit or play for Thanksgiving, or thread a rib-
bon through a paper punch hole to make necklaces with
your Native American friendship dolls.
