Spiders

     We started learning about spiders this week.

     Today we read spider fact cards about nine different types of spiders.  We then broke into small groups to make a Venn Diagram comparing two different types.  Some students started sorting fact and opinion cards about spiders.  We will be working on that all week.  By the middle of next week, each student will have completed a paragraph full of information they've gathered on a specific type of spider and "play" lots of different spider learning centers.  FUN!

     Junie B. had to be returned to the library but not before we finished one more story.  In it, Junie B. thought her brother was a REAL monkey!  We started reading a new spooky story this week. 

We've finished two chapters and I'm excited to see what happens next.  

     Here are some other pictures I have to share.
