Mrs. Roll's LEAST Favorite Topic Made Fun!

Spiders... Ugh! At the sight of them I cringe. The thought of them... Well that makes for many nightmares. When I read a Spider book, I avoid looking at the pictures. Needless to say, while teaching about my least favorite topic, I still had to make it fun!

Yesterday, we graphed who had arachnophobia and who did not. 16 students are not afraid of spiders while 5 students (and one adult) are. 

Today, we made a spider web across the carpet. Each student pretended they were a spider as they tossed a ball of yarn to another student that correctly read a sight word. Once the yarn left their hand, they held on to a piece of the web mimicking how a spider hooks his web on to branches and even houses (yuck!). 

While spiders are creepy isn't this web so cool?
