A whole class of students. One student is holding a book. Three students are peeking out of a box.

Mrs. Hair’s class has been learning about spiders this week.  They’ve been writing informational text and have been researching different types of spiders. Today, the students took turns becoming trapdoor spiders and tried to catch a sneaky grasshopper.  They quickly learned how difficult it is to catch prey. The class also got to use fangs (straws) to slurp up prey (jello).  The students have a new appreciation for spiders!
