Learning about Spiders

Our house is ready for Halloween in more ways than one.  It seems we have lots of spider webs around the outside of our windows and so we decided to learn more about them. We went out with flashlights one night to watch the spiders catching their dinner.  We learned about the main types of webs and learned about many different kinds of spiders.  We made our own webs by drawing the different types.  We made string art spider webs, construction paper cut out webs,  edible pretzel and melted chocolate webs, and glued white rice on paper in the shape of orb webs.  Didn't get pictures of all our activities but did get some. We also had a perfect orb web with a  beautiful orange and black spider in the center of it, right outside our school window.  Saw it early one morning as the sunshine hit the  dew just right so that it sparkled and showed every line and spoke of the web.  Something we will remember.  There is beauty in His creation all around us.
