A Visit from Spiders (Leila)

 
 
With the Winter weather we've had lately, our visits from M. Marc, Mr. Slack, Mrs. DiGiacomo., and Ms. Cocco have been accompanied by some other friends coming for visits of a more extended kind, making their way in for a warmer place to call their home for the snowy season ahead of us. We found a couple spiders the other day and decided to put them in a jar for the kids to observe for a few days.

 
 
 
Observations made by the children:
 
Devin: That`s the mommy and that`s his baby. They stay still so bugs will come. Momma made the spider web. Puts his teeth in and wraps it around in his silk.
 
Mrs. Cole: Why did the spiders come in the classroom?
 
Colin: I think he found his way inside because he wanted to get warm. I think they`re having a Halloween party.
 
Mrs. Cole : Why is he curled up in a ball?
 
Hannah: He`s hanging on a spider web.
 
Sean: He`s hanging on spider silk so he can protect himself from predators.
 
Nahisha: Because, so he can be safe.
 
Ben: So he can stay safe.
 
Mrs. Cole:  What's that yellow thing on his back?
 
Sean: It makes the spider web, it makes the silk.
 
Mrs. Cole:  How many eyes does a spider have?
 
Sean: 6
 
Hannah: 5
 
Kaitlyn: 6
 
Alessa: 2
