Black Spiders
Today we talked about spiders. Spiders can be scary, but they can be helpful too. We read the book, "Be Nice to Spiders", by Margaret Graham, and the "Very Busy Spider", by Eric Carle. We then made our own spider webs by taking a marble dipped in white paint and very carefully, so not to drop the marble, rolled it back and forth and around and around our black plates. When the paint dried, Miss Janalynn gave us a bouncy ball with a black spider inside it. We played with the ball on our webbed plate and tried not to let our balls drop. It was a fun and crazy game.
We made our snacks today. We made spider cookies, with Oreos and Black licorice. The Oreos were a hit, the licorice wasn't but it was fun to create a spider that we could pull off the legs and then eat.
We also practiced cutting today. We learned that spiders have 8 legs. We cut those 8 legs to make a wind sock. This was the first time "cutting" for the 3 year olds. They did pretty good, it takes a lot of tiny muscles to cut and this was fun for them.
What made me laugh today was Cade's comment, "My dad found a spider and he started screaming, but it was already dead".
