Today in the library, preschoolers learned about arachnids the family that spiders and scorpions belong to. We looked at pictures of these fascinating creatures (including a REAL DEAD scorpion encased in plastic) and noticed both scorpions and spiders have eight legs. We then enjoyed three stories, Itsy Bitsy, the Smart Spider by Charise Mericle Harper; Aaaargghhh Spider! by Lydia Monks and The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out by Troy Cummings. Each student also decorated a wooden spider or scorpion to take home. We concluded with bookbrowsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
