A Week of Spiders

This week at school Molly and her friends have been learning all about spiders. They read spider books and sang spider songs. (My favorite song so far is one Molly came home singing about little Miss Muffett sitting in front of her TV eating popcorn when a spider came in the back door...) They've made spider hats, clay and pipe-cleaner spiders, played spider math games and parents were asked to catch a spider and bring it to school in a plastic container. Paul got really excited about the live spider assignment and even personalized Molly's spider's box after Molly named him. I don't so much mind driving a spider to school, but if they ever study snakes, Molly will have to find another ride.
