Creepy Crawly Spiders

This week we have been learning about spiders.   

Mrs. Levy brought in her son's pet tarantula Morgan.  


We observed Morgan, read spider books and wrote spider facts.


We looked at a remote control tarantula and compared it in a Venn diagram with the real spider.



What was your favorite spider fact? 

Which spider did you like better- the real spider or the toy tarantula?

  6. Hi Mrs. Leavy's class!!
    I know I wasn't there, but I have a fear of spiders, so I would like the toy spider better! I hope you all had an amazing Halloween!

  7. Hi penpals!
    That is such a big spider! I am extremely afraid of spiders, so I definitely would like the toy tarantula better!

  8. Hi Pen Pals,
    I definitely agree with Brooke. Toy tarantula spiders would probably work probably not scare me as much.
