It is time to start thinking about tricks and treats. October is such a fun and spooky month. It is a great time to bring in some nonfiction learning on bats and spiders. The students loved to learn about creepy, crawly things! Did you know that four out of my five students wanted a pet spider? We asked them what they would do with the spider if they had it as a pet. Some students wanted to put make-up on it and hair bows. One student named it Sweetie Pie! Another student picked the name Sam.I am super excited to see if they still want a spider for a pet when I bring the real one in this week. Luckily, my husband is a Science teacher and he was generous enough to lend the spider to us! I will be sure to give you the update and I plan on taking a new survey once they visit our spider.
