Week nine was all about spiders! Everyone (including me) learned lots about spiders. I caught a garden spider and put it into our butterfly pavilion (no butterflies were inside). Our spider made a web and we fed it a moth, a grasshopper, and a fly. We released Miss Spider back outside to go play with her friends and meet Mr. Spider on Friday afternoon.

We also discovered that spiders are hard workers. It takes lots of work to make a web. We used cooked spaghetti mixed with glue to make a web. It is much harder than it looks!
