Itsy Bitsy Spider Language Fun

The itsy bitsy spider is one of my favorite nursery rhymes.  It's about a spider who never gives up. No matter how many times the rain washes him down the waterspout, he always climbs back up the spout again and sees the sun.  I am sure everyone has felt like that little spider at some point in life. I know I have. So maybe that's why I smile when I sing this song.

Being a Nana K has given me the chance to enjoy nursery rhymes all over again. After all, I sang them with my own children when they were little (seems like yesterday). When I started teaching, I sang them with my students.  I sing them with teachers at conferences while we talk about how to incorporate emergent literacy skills such as phonemic awareness and rhyming.

Now I get to sing them with my grandchildren.  So this post is dedicated to my little H who squealed, "Do it again Nana K! Do it again!" as we played with our waterspout and spider.  And in the blink of an eye, my other 3 grandchildren will be old enough to play too.  Right now all 4 benefit from hearing nursery rhymes over and over again even from birth.  It's never too early to read and sing to your child.

                                     

MATERIALS NEEDED

• 1 paint stick 
• 1 doll clothespin
• 1 regular clothespin
• 1 milk jug plastic lid
• 4 googly eyes
• small piece of red yarn
• yellow craft foam
• silver craft foam
• blue craft foam
• glue gun

These are the paint sticks that I purchase from Amazon.  I like them because they are smooth and cheaper to buy in bulk.  I've also add a link for the wooden craft clothespin after requests from those who have read this blog post.   You can click on the pictures below to get a better description of both.  Amazon links are included for your convenience.

I created a FREE PRINTABLE at the end of the blog post if you prefer to use clipart on card stock.  It also includes a song sheet of The Itsy Bitsy Spider with rebus pictures to read with your child along with some sight word cards.

DIRECTIONS FOR SPIDER

DIRECTIONS FOR SUN AND RAIN CLOTHESPIN

• Use a larger lid to trace a circle on the yellow and silver craft foam.  
• Cut out the circles and hot glue them onto the regular clothespin.  
• See picture above for placement on clothespin.
• Cut out raindrops and glue to silver circle.
• Your clothespin is ready!

DIRECTIONS FOR PAINT STICK

I used silver glitter spray paint to paint my stick, doll clothespin, and regular clothespin.  You could also use children's washable paint, or gray markers as a substitute or leave them in their natural wood finish.  Another option is to let your child mix washable children's black and white paint to make gray.  Let your paint stick dry.

READY TO PLAY

1. Clip the clothespin with the sun side showing on the top of the paint stick.
2. Slide the spider onto the stick.
3. Sing the song.

The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout.

• Child moves the spider up the waterspout.
• Child takes off the clothespin and repositions so the rain shows.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

• Child slides the spider down the waterspout.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

• Child takes off the clothespin and repositions so the sun shows.

The itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

• Child moves the spider back to the top just under the sun.

IDEAS FOR LEARNING

This activity can be modified based on the age and needs of the child.  As always, be aware of any choking hazards with very young children.

Children and parent/teacher can sing the song together and adult manipulates the spider as above.

Teacher or parent use props to tell or sing the nursery rhyme.  

Children can use the props to tell or sing the nursery rhyme.

FINE MOTOR  PRACTICE

This FUN kid's activity helps young children build fine motor skills when they open the clothespin to change from the sun to the rain and when they slide the spider up and down the waterspout (paint stick).  Some younger children will need help holding the paint stick while they switch from the sun to the rain and back again.  Be patient as they build their fine motor skills.  It's all about having fun, singing, and playing.  Practice, sing, play, repeat.

BUILDING ORAL FLUENCY

Young children build oral fluency and increase their spoken sentence length when they say or sing nursery rhymes.  This helps with reading fluency as they get older. When the children have learned The Itsy Bitsy Spider, try leaving off the last word, and let them fill in the word.

FIRST THIS

The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout.

Down came the rain and washed the spider ______.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout ______.

THEN THIS

The itsy bitsy _______ went up the __________.

Down came the ______ and washed the _________ out.

Out came the _______ and dried up ______ the rain.

The __________ spider went up the ______ again.

PHONEMIC AWARENESS

Identify the rhyming words in the nursery rhyme.

• Can they think of other words that rhyme with them?  sun-fun, rain-pain, out-shout, down-town

Count the syllables in the words.  

• Clap 1 time:  went, up, down, rain, sun, out, spout
• Clap 2 times:  itsy, bitsy, spider, again
• Clap 3 times:  waterspout

VOCABULARY

As the children become familiar with the rhyme, use the props as an opportunity to teach new vocabulary.  Here are vocabulary words to teach when playing with props.

• up, down, on, off, out - positional words
• sun, rain, waterspout, spider - nouns or people, places, things
• washed, dried - verbs or action words
• itsy, bitsy - adjectives or describing words 

Use these positional words to have the children show the meaning.  

• Say up and have the child move the spider up the spout.  
• Say down and have the child slide the spider down the spout. 
• Say off and have the child take the spider off the spout.  
• Say off and have the child take the clothespin (sun or rain) off the paint stick (waterspout).

Fall Leaves Activities for Teaching

Here is a fun fall activity to do with your kids at home or in the classroom that includes working on language, vocabulary, and math concepts while building those crucial fine motor skills.  Throw in some creativity and your children will have lots of fun too!  And if you are wondering why I chose turkeys to put in the trees, keep on reading for links to explain why turkeys roost in trees.  It's always great when you can add some nonfiction real facts along with a fun math activity.

I love to use paint sticks to make games. In fact, my next few posts will be on making games and activities out of paint sticks and crafts stick.  Be sure to sign up by email at the top right corner, so you don't miss any of the fun.

If you are a teacher, you can make a tree to model in whole group and then make 2 trees for small groups.  I have my students work in pairs.  One builds the math tree and the other provides the "math conversations."  Then they switch roles.  If you are a parent, each child can have their own tree or they can work together.  Are you having a fall party?  This would make a fun craft to make that has a learning object too.

As with any activity, free play is so important.  Children need lots of opportunities to play as they learn. And remember this game builds fine motor skills because the children will use their pincer grasp (squeezing their thumb and pointer finger) to open and close the clothespins.

Materials Needed

• 1 paint stick 
• 10 jumbo craft sticks
• Elmer's glue or equivalent
• Fall color leaves
• Clothespins
• Animals

I bought my leaves at the Dollar Tree.  They came in a small package, and we had a few left over.  You can also use felt or construction paper leaves.  

I purchased the felt owls and turkeys at Michael's craft store (remember Michael's 40% Sunday coupons), but they also had turkey shapes at the Dollar Tree.  I included turkeys and owls in the FREE PRINTABLE.

Holding the tree with one hand while putting the animal on the branches requires fine motor skills.  If your child is younger, you can help hold the tree while he puts the animals on the tree.  Practice, play, practice, play, repeat. 

Directions

For older children,  let them make their own tree from beginning to end by using the Elmer's glue and allowing the sticks to dry.

For younger children build the base of the tree using a glue gun to attach the branches to the tree.  Then they can build the rest.

• Place the paint stick vertically.
• Place jumbo craft sticks in the arrangement desired.
• Use glue or a glue gun to secure branches.  See above for older or younger children suggestions.
• Let tree dry.
• Place drops of glue on the branches.
• Lay leaves on top of the glue.
• Let dry.
• Glue animal shapes on clothespins with a glue gun.
• READY TO PLAY!

LET'S PLAY

CHANGE THE GAME BASED ON YOUR CHILDREN'S NEEDS

Level 1

Goal:  Fine Motor, Counting

• Children play by putting owls or turkeys in the tree.
• Children count as they add animals.
• Children say, touch, and count or use one-to-one correspondence.  
• Children say one number for one animal and count in sequence (1, 2, 3, 4 . . .).

Level 2

Goal:  Fine Motor, Number Recognition, 

• Add number cards or use playing cards. 
• 10 clothespin animals.   
• Number cards are included in the free PRINTABLE.
• Put numbers in a small container or sack.
• Children draw a card.
• Children put the number of _______ on the tree to match.
• Children remove animals.
• Repeat.

Level 3

Goal:  Addition

• Add a die to the game.
• Roll the die.
• Name the number.
• Put that many _______ on the tree.
• Roll the die.
• Put that many _______ on the tree.
• How many ________ are on the tree?

Goal:  Subtraction

• Draw a card.
• Take that many ______ off the tree.
• How many _______ are left on the tree.

Glue animals on both sides of clothespins to provide a balanced tree and to give both hands fine motor practice.

Math Conversations to Have with Children

Tell me about your tree.

How many ______ are on your tree?

Do you have more _______ or _________ on your tree?

Do you have fewer ______ or ________ on your tree?

Are they equal?

Take A Closer Look at September Blog Hop

Hi everyone! 

Remember our blog hop last month before the big BTS sale? 

The one where 10 of us gave a freebie sample of our best sellers?? 

Well, we are at it again! This time, we are offering up a freebie sample of our favorite September product! 

So that means I have to name a favorite product for September.  Hmmm! Since many of you are teaching about fall and apples, I am sharing a sample of my Apples Reading Fluency for Little Learners.  If you are not familiar with my blog, here is the most important thing you should know.  I love using songs to teach reading.  I make up songs all.the.time - for everything.  Procedures - Phonemic Awareness - Phonics - Sight Words - Reading Strategies - Writing Strategies - Math . . .  And then I use those songs to teach literacy skills.

Why?  Because these songs become meaningful print for students to make connections.  Singing helps increase oral fluency, which in turns helps build reading fluency.  Singing the words takes away the "fear factor" when encountering new texts.  If they can sing it, they can be supported in reading it.

My FREEBIE is a copy of the predictable text words to the song to use in a literacy center, during guided reading, or as homework.  The predictable text helps support emerging readers.  Parents enjoy hearing their children sing the song, and it engages them too. Have your students color the apples to match the text.  They can also underline the color words with markers or crayons to match.  Throw in an apple pointer for tracking the print, and they are ready to go!

Here is a sneak peek at "Take a Bite" which is included my Apple Reading Fluency for Little Learners.  I just finished recording a mini-video to go with the song that can be played on a computer and also added an mp4 file to use on an iPad.  And for those who DON'T have tech, the packet contains the printable book in many different sizes, a pocket chart activity, and the mp3 song to play the music too.   

My students receive a fluency folder at the first of the year that contains songs to use as a warm up for guided reading.  These fluency folders stay in their reading boxes to use when reading independently, with a friend, or during small group instruction. When it is time for guided reading, they get their book boxes, and pull out their fluency folder.  They read their songs and poems along with familiar text.  They know to get started right away and not waste time.  They have a mission.  We are readers.  We are building our stamina.  We are building fluency.

My students also use these song sheets to play "What do you notice?"  This activity is differentiated for students.  Some children may notice individual letters.  Some children may notice that many of the words "match." Some children may notice a familiar sight word.  Some children may notice a phonics pattern (silent e in bite).  Have your students highlight what they notice to help them read the text.  Here is a quick glance at what else is this packet.

ARE YOU READY  . . .  HOP on over to Jessica's blog Second Grade Nest.  She has a great FREEBIE just for you!

Johnny Appleseed and Apples

It's fall and almost time to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday.  I went back into the recording studio and just finished 2 new mini-videos, book sets, and activities to use with your thematic unit on apples.

The first is a video called "Let's Pretend We're Johnny Appleseed."  It contains what plants need to grow, shows the life cycle of an apple tree, and contains fun sequencing motions to keep your students moving.  This set also includes the song, printable books, and activity cards in both color and black and white.

Here is a sneak peek of the video and previews from the packet.  I used the adorable clipart from Whimsy Workshop Teaching.

For more information click HERE.  Your children will love acting out the motions while learning literacy skills too.

The 2nd mini-video is called "Take a Bite." It's a fun way to get children ready for apple tasting time and to choose which one is their favorite apple.  A printable book is also included in this packet along with a pocket chart activity too.

Math Manipulatives on a Budget

Last week I stopped by my favorite Dollar Tree store to look around for ideas for math centers.  Jackpot!  I always get stopped at the front with the seasonal items. But this time, I continued on to the less known baby aisle to pick up some baby plates for another activity.  And what did I see?  BABY LINKS!  So I thought of some math activities to go with them.  I like the small links that you get at the teacher stores, but these were different.  They are the big chunky links that provided sensory feed back too.  And just wait until you see all the different ways to use these.  They come 10 in a packet for $1.00.  I purchased five which gave me 50 big chunky links.  That's an awesome set of manipulatives for $5.00.

Now if you know me, I am big on differentiating centers so students can use similar or the same materials and work with them on their own level.  And I also work with PreK-1st grade students.  So what can you do with these manipulatives seen in the picture bellow?  Keep on reading :)

SORTING

• Sort them by color (top-left picture).
• Sort them by their sensory bumps and grooves (top-right picture).
• Link them together by their attribute for great fine motor practice.

PATTERNING

• Make a pattern by color.
• Make a pattern by sensory bumps and grooves.

ONE-TO-ONE CORRESPONDENCE

• Count and link to match a number card.
• Link them together to build a number.
• Roll a die and build the number.
• Turn over a playing card and build the number.

MAKING COMBINATIONS

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION

But WAIT!  I started thinking about how I could make them separate or show combinations.  I went over to the toy aisle and grabbed a couple of boomerangs.  Perfect!  I wrapped some duct tape around the middle of the boomerangs several times to make a middle sorting side.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR STUDENTS
Choose from the ideas below to match individual needs.

• Students place total number of links on the left side.  
• Student removes some from left side and places on right side.
• Student says the number combination.
• Student draws a pictorial representation of the combination.
• Student writes a number sentence for the combination. 

WORKING WITH 5

• Student places 5 rings on the left side.
• Student rolls the dice.
• If lands on 6, roll again.
• Student removes the number of rings to match the number or dots on dice and places them on the right side.
• Student says the number combination.
• Student draws a pictorial representation of the combination.
• Student writes a number sentence for the combination.

WORKING WITH 10

• Student places 10 rings on left side.
• Student turns over a card.
• Student removes the number of rings to match the number on the card and places them on the right side.
• Student says the number combination.
• Student draws a pictorial representation of the combination.
• Student writes a number sentence for the combination.

Thanks for reading all the way to the end.  I hope you have some new ideas for differentiating with these links.

Pete the Cat Fun Theme Activities

Raise your hand if you read Pete the Cat books and do many "Pete" activities at the first of school. I do!!!  This is a fun way to end an author study (Eric Litwin and James Dean) on Pete the Cat books the first week of school.

Which Pete the Cat book is my FAVORITE?  Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes! It is a wonderful first mentor text for helping children learn about speech bubbles, rhythm, predictable text, sequencing, and the author's purpose for writing the story (moral).

Disclosure:  Amazon links provided for your convenience.

Since I've posted so many activities to go along with Pete the Cat books on my blog (read to the end for links), my friends and colleagues know that I am a HUGE fan.  Enter the shoe above.  My friend Kathleen who lives many, many miles away from me sent me a text with a picture of a piñata shoe that she found at TARGET.  Hold on until the end of this post before you head there :)

Kathleen was brainstorming ways to use it with her students.  So what do teachers do best?  They collaborate!   Kathleen, Vanessa at PreK Pages, and I began planning.  Keep reading for links to my other posts, free printable, and  PreK Pages - Where's Pete game.  

Now Vanessa was SAD because she couldn't find the shoe at her Target (mine had 6).  I cheered her up by coming up with a way for her to make her own Pete the Cat Piñata out a box.  I started out with a cereal box but ended up choosing the Swifter box since it was wider. 

Step 1:  Draw a black line on one side of the box to use as a guide.

Step 2:  Cut on the black line.

Step 3:  Hole punch the sides.  Make sure you go down far enough for it to be sturdy.  Measure where your holes are on each side so they match.

Step 4:  Open up the bottom of the box and remove the tabs as shown above.  This will make it easier for the students to open up the piñata when they hit it.

Step 5:  Use painter's tape or duck tape to cover the box.  It took me about 5 minutes to wrap the tape around it.  I just taped one layer with blue painters tape since the cardboard is sturdy.

Step 6:  To keep the tape from sticking to the top of the shoe (underneath side), I cut a strip of white construction paper and taped it underneath the top where the hole punches are.

Step 7:  Use shoe string to lace your shoes or I used some white elastic loom bands to tie through mine.  You use what you have at your house :)

Step 8:  Insert your piñata prizes, and tape shut with Scotch tape.  You can use stronger tape if you choose, but the Scotch tape worked fine for me.  I taped it 4 times across the bottom, and it took about 7 swings to get the bottom to fall open.  Tie a string around the middle bands so you can hang it.  You also have the option of taping it shut with a string and having someone pull the bottom open instead.

Here are some FREE printables to use as wrist bands in your piñata for an alternative to candy.  There are many different versions to fit the needs of PreK, Kindergarten, 1st grade, preschool, and home schoolers too.  Print them on white paper for your students to color or print them on different colored paper.  The children can also draw pictures to sequence the story.  Tape the wrist band around your students arm as a prompt for sharing their fun day with their families.  There is also an "Ask me about my day" band too. I use my crinkle-cut shape scissors to cut out the wrist bands.


So what do you want to do now?  Head over to PREK PAGES for the Where's Pete School Tour and recipe. (Mmmmm!)  She has a cute sequencing printable for you to use too.

Here are links to my other Pete the Cat activity posts.  Have FUN!
