Eeeeek spiders!!!

Check out our awesome spiders!!!

Spiders!!!







 Today we were able to (safely) get close to real live spiders!!  This spider was moving its pedipalps fast for us to see them.

Mrs. C. Williams let us borrow Harry for the next few days.  He is a caged tarantula that lives in a log inside his cage.  We love to watch him crawl out of the log and back in again!! 
Harry is getting out of the log to eat his lunch.  YUCK!!

Today we spent the afternoon labeling the parts of a spider.  Ask your child if they can tell you the following parts: pedipalps, head, abdomen, legs, spinnerets, & eyes.
