Creeping Crawling Spiders

On Friday, Kristin found a large spider in the classroom. This rainy day provided the perfect opportunity for finding out more about the visitor. On our way, we saw that the Cardinals were visiting the 1st grade. We stopped in too, and Elise showed them our spider.
on our way out, the first graders showed us their  caterpillars and butterflies
Our next stop was Sixth Grade Science. They told us that spiders have eight legs, and that Jim's science class also had two big spiders!

So we headed off to Jim's science class. Jim knew lots and lots about spiders! He told us that his spiders eat insects like flies, and that they have even eaten a very small earthworm! This was quite a coincidence because earlier, several kids had found earthworms outside!
We decided to see if wer could learn even more, and so we headed off to the library. Tonie helped us find a lot of books about spiders!


We read the books downstairs for a change of scenery.
