1st/2nd/3rd Gifted

The students worked hard today! After our normal morning routine, 1st and 2nd grade got busy working on their spider webs. They traced their spider webs in black marker and then made spider models and identified each body part. The spider has two main body parts, the cephalothorax (smaller) and the abdomen. The legs are attached to the cephalothorax so it was very important to make sure the legs were coming from that part of the body. Most spiders have 8 eyes, some have none. The students make sure their spinnerets were extending from their abdomen.

3rd grade is all on the final copy of their Weslandia brochure and some have begun working on their map skills packet. Once we have worked through the map skills packet, the students will find a place on earth to "build" their civilization. :)
