Observe Spiders. There is nothing more fascinating than watching a spider spin its web or move along the wall. If you have a small aquarium then you can create a nice habitat for spiders for the children to observe during this week. Add twigs, grass, small container of water and live insects.

Spider Board Game
Cut a large piece of white bristle board into cards. You will need one card for each child.

Cut out legs from construction paper the exact colour/ size/shape as the legs on the bristle board spider. Add corresponding # of dots on the construction paper legs to match the number on the gameboard. Provide a large dice. Children take turns rolling the dice and adding legs to their spider. If they roll a 3, they get to put leg #3 on their spider. If that spot is already taken, play passes to next player. First person to complete their spider wins.
