Spooky Spider Day!

Our class had a very fun time at our Spooky Spider Party! There were 4 stations that each child had the chance to go to.... and thanks to our wonderful parent volunteers, everything was a hit! Here is the game, "Pin The Pedipalps On The Spider".... if you don't know what "pedipalps" are, ask your local 2nd grader!

Ethan is giving it a go...

Madisyn is trying to find that perfect spot:

Everyone also got to make a treat in the shape of a spider.... including all of the correct body parts.

Abdomen
Cephalothorax
8 legs
6 or 8 eyes
(of course, all the body parts had to be cemented together with a smidge of frosting...)

Halle is sampling the spicy red-hot eyes... just for good measure.

Kaeli might be trying to decide which part to eat first:

Another fun station was making a spider out of playdough.
Each spider was to have:
an abdomen
a cephalothorax
6 or 8 eyes
8 legs
spinnerets
pedipalps

Kaylee adds some eyeballs:

Cole rolls out some nice legs!

Edward also tries to get those legs down there!

"The Ethans" put their best finishing touches on....


Dylan thinks about his next move:

Christopher is putting a lot of thought into his style!

Zach gets right to work:

The 4th station was to make a spider booklet, then read & discuss it.
Dylan and Ben are getting into it!

Sophia reads aloud:

Kaylee & Halle follow along...
