After reading a real word book about bugs, we learned all about the differences between different kinds of bugs. We learned that while spiders are bugs, they are not actually insects--they are arachnids because they have eight legs whereas an insect only has 6. After, we decided to make some spiders to crawl across our kindergarten hallway!
We learned that most spiders have eight eyes, but some have less and some even have more!
One of the questions that came out of our reading was whether or not all arachnids were spiders or if only some were, like bugs and insects. We did some research and discovered that the Arachnid family not only includes spiders, but also includes scorpions, ticks, and mites (yikes!)
