Miss C's Solo week

This past week, Miss C did her one week solo. I checked in with her each morning, lunchtime, and after school. I could tell the week went very well! Miss C was having a wonderful time and the students, from all I could see and hear, were enjoying the week and learning a lot.

Spiders has been a topic for science since we are reading Charlotte's Web. Anytime you bring animals into the curriculum, it's a hit with the students. Room 8 was no exception! Students were bringing in spiders...and I brought in a terrarium and they set it up for the spiders' habitats.

Miss C said the students wanted to do an experiment to see how multiple spiders in the same habitat would do. Would they build a web together? Would some be cannibals? We read a few weeks ago about multiple species of spiders who spun an enormous web. What will happen in Room 8?

Spiders Rule! Our terarium now has about a dozen different spiders within the habitat and we believe there is an egg sac that should hatch soon. Awesome.
