EEEK! SPIDERS!

What a week!  This week definetely made me step out of my comfort zone.  We were inspired to learn more about spiders while we were reading Charlotte's Web.

Our room was magically transformed into an informational hot spot for learning about spiders!

Webs were all around our room!

Even our Daily 5 centers were themed for our Spider Week!

WE EVEN HAD A VISITOR!  MR. PINK!

We loved to observe our friend! We could see first hand everything that we were learning about spiders.

We started off our week by brainstorming everything that we knew about spiders. Then, as the week went on we adding our "new learning" to the chart!

We did lots of reading and research!

We learned the difference between an insect and a spider.  We became such experts that we were able to go outside, find critters, and classify them as insects or arachnids.  We even founds some critters that were neither!  WOW! Can we say....WORM unit?
