This is a literacy lesson that had a creative art activity and play. At the beginning of the lesson, reviewed with them the words that start with the sound S. They start giving me some words like spider, star, spoon, snake and sun. I introduced some more words for them from the PowerPoint and I asked the children one by one to name choose a picture and name it. After that, I played the video song for them and I encouraged them to sing it with each other by letting one of them the leader.

 During the focus activity, I provided the appropriate materials for the children to create a hand print spider. They were very creative while they were doing the activity. This is because of that they choose different paint colors to print by their fingers as well as different designing with glitters.
