We finished our study of spiders this week with some spider facts and a crafty little spider to go with it. I let them watch as I made mine. Their only instructions were to make a circle, an oval, and 16 leg pieces. (We also learned about adding doubles this week, so we used that to figure out how many pieces we'd need for 8 legs if each leg needed two...pretty tricky!) Now I must warn you, when we're writing I DO NOT correct their spelling. We have spelling lessons and tests, but during writing I don't want their process impeded by stress about spelling. They sound their words out with every confidence that if they at least get a few letters right, I'll know exactly what it says. That being said...
