Spiders, Spiders, Spiders!


Last week, the students read informational text about spiders. Before reading the text, students helped to fill in the sections of the K ( what we know about spiders)  and W ( what we want to learn about spiders from the informational text) sections of our KWL Chart. After the read, students helped to fill in the L (what we learned from the informational text) section of our chart.

After reviewing our chart, the students created a spider and listed some facts about spiders they learned from the informational text.

The class also completed a graph titled "Are you Afraid Of Spiders." Afterwards, the students had to record the data from our graph. I couldn't  believe that the majority of the class was not afraid of spiders!

To finish off the week about spiders, the students really enjoyed making edible spiders!!



 Science
The students learned about the five senses and created a Five Senses photo collage in their science journals.
