Halloween is a great time to learn about spiders! We read a few different nonfiction texts on spiders and even had a guest speaker. Mr. Palmer arranged for Jeff the Nature Guy from ZooMontana to come in and talk to our class about spiders. He even brought a tarantula! We learned so much from him! After learning about spiders the kids wrote opinion pieces about the arachnids. Several students changed their opinion from thinking spiders were creepy to thinking they are cool.
The students got creative with spiders and the first graders wrote a recipe for spider soup. Yum! The second graders designed a whole spooky cafe menu that included appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Weren't the students surprised when on Wednesday I brought some spider soup. MMmmmm! Tastes like chicken.
