Last week we kicked off a unit of learning about Spiders. We began by thinking about everything we know about Spiders (or what we think we know!) and then shared this information. It was not a question about whether the thought was accurate or not, but more about getting our ideas down on paper. Here is a list of our current knowledge:
- spiders eat butterflies
- spiders spin webs
- spiders can drop from their web
- spiders live outside
- spiders live inside
- spiders eat mosquitos
- spiders have 8 legs
- spiders can bite
- dogs eat spiders
- spiders can crawl on people
After communicating what we knew about spiders, we then shared our curiosities through "I wonder..." statements. This proved to be a more difficult concept for the children to grasp onto, but here are a few:
- I wonder what a spider will do if it gets mad?
- I wonder what spiders eat? Do they eat pumpkins?
- I wonder if they chew their food?
- I wonder if spiders can bite?
