Preschool Teacher Instructions:
1. Provide each child with a paper plate, black and white wiki stix, and scissors.
2. Show the children a sample spider web and explain that they will be creating their own spider web using the wiki stix.
3. You can either provide a pattern for the children to follow or allow them to create their own web design.
4. Encourage the children to carefully cut the wiki stix to the desired length and shape to create their web.
5. Once the children have finished creating their web, they can add a plastic spider or other decorations to complete their project.

Teacher Tips for Differentiated Instruction:
– For children who may struggle with cutting the wiki stix, you can pre-cut the stix to the desired lengths for them.
– Encourage children to talk about their web designs and engage in discussions about spiders and their habitats.

Assessment Suggestions:
– Observe children as they create their spider webs to assess their fine motor skills and ability to follow directions.
– Listen to children as they explain their web designs to assess their creativity and understanding of spider habitats.
