Halloween and Spider Week
We have been talking about leaves and trees quite a bit this fall, and then last week we took the week of Halloween to focus on all things spider. The spider world is an exciting one of building and of predator prey relationships. They also can give many of us a creepy feeling, but they are so cool. After our super fun Halloween pumpkin celebration, trick or treating and costume dance party, we spent the rest of the week learning about spiders. We built webs and looked for shapes in then, we pretended to be spiders and spider prey, wrapped and unwrapped spider snacks, acted out the Ashanti folk tale of Anansi the Spider, made Indonesian net bread (which we called “web” bread), and discovered the letters of our names hidden in crayon resist spider webs. So fun!
