Learn Greatness with Spiders!

We are nearing the end of October so I wanted to share some of the fun things we are doing with Spiders, Bats, Pumpkins and Night Creatures.  First, we began by talking and learning about spiders.  I actually had an old ZooBooks magazine from when I was a kid.  

We read captions and learned all about spiders.  We also read a few books with spider characters (We are currently reading Charlotte's Web as our family chapter book)

 

After reading several stories we talked about different types of sentences.  We focused on sentences that were statements, questions, or exclamations.  We searched through our books for sentences with periods.  Then we wrote sentences with a period.  We looked for questions.  Then wrote our own question sentences.  

Finally we found some sentences with exclamations and wrote our own.  We created the craft below and wrote our sentences on the legs of the spider.
