After reading Charlotte's Web in the classroom, there are a variety of activities that could be utilized within the classroom. Charlotte's Memorial: As a classroom, discuss the wonderful things that Charlotte underwent within her life time. ( For example, Charlotte was a wonderful friend who never ceased to believe in Wilbur.) After describing the selfless acts that Charlotte performed within the novel, it is time to prepare for a memorial for the lovely spider. As a classroom, decide how to honor the spider's life. Some ideas would be singing Charlotte a song and making Charlotte cards. As an educator it is vital to not go allow any religous ideas to surface while discussing ways to honor the spider.
Weaving a Web: For this activity, you will need the following materials: Straws, craft sticks, yarn, scissors, plastic bugs, and pipe cleaners. Cross the straws or craft sticks until you have six spokes. Then use the yarn to weave in and out and around the sticks. Lastly, make a spider out of pipe cleaners to place on your web. If you wish to be a little more creative, place little plastic bug within the web. You may even wish to put the messages that Charlotte constucted on her web in the story.
