Spiders

We learned all about spiders this week. We learned about the spider's body parts and their function. We also learned about the life cycle and illustrated and labeled it on a paper plate. We learned abut their habitats and how they eat. We created spiders and labeled their body parts. We also wrote together about what we learned about htis week.

On Friday, we read Miss Spider's Tea Party. Then we tasted three different kinds of tea: cherry, peach, and raspberry. Then we graphed our favorite. First we made a real object graph using our cups and then we colored the fruit we liked best and created a graph using our pictures. We talked to our partner about the data on the graph and wrote together about it.

Spiders!

This week in science we learned about spiders. We learned that spiders have two body parts. We created spiders and labeled their parts. We also created a spider snack. We learned about how and why spiders spin webs. We wove our own webs and we learned about the life cycle of spiders. In the science lab, we looked at website that helped us learn about the spider life cycle and watched a video of a spider's mating dance!

Tea Tasting

We read Miss Spider's Tea Party by David Kirk. Then we tasted cherry, peach, and raspberry tea. We chose our favorite and graphed the results. Then we drew conclusions about our data. It was close between cherry and raspberry but cherry won.

Then we made a spider snack in response to Miss Spider's Tea Party and our poem Tommy's Pet Spider. We also made spiders using paper plates, paint, and construction paper.
