Spiders, Spiders, Spiders

This week we learned all about spiders!  To begin our unit, we graphed whether or not we were afraid of spiders.  The kids were surprised to find out that Mrs. Lee IS afraid of spiders, but I had so many little volunteers to take care of the spiders if we ever have one in our room.  We also created a K-L chart about spiders.  (we left our the W part, but we did talk about what we wanted to learn from our studies this week)  We knew a little about spiders, but check out everything we learned by the end of the week.  Spider week is a busy one.  We made a retelling activity for The Itsy Bitsy Spider, we also made Little Miss Muffet and filled in the missing letters....S.  But, the most fun was our tea party with Mrs. Ray's class.  We read Miss Spider's Tea Party and then we tasted three different kinds of "tea" (juice).  We graphed our favorite "tea".
