Spiders Spiders Spiders!
A spider’s body:
Many kinds of spiders live in the world. Some are smaller than the nail on your pinkie finger. A few are as big as a dinner plate! Even thought this might sound crazy, I would LOVE to see a spider the size of a dinner plate, but I would’t want to eat if for dessert even with a cherry and candy on top! I like the spiders poison gland the most cause that’s what it uses to inject venom into the prey.
No matter how big or little spiders are, they all have 8 legs and 2 body parts and are important to our world. Without them, the food web would basically not have many animals. Sometimes I go down to the creek with my friend Jared and we catch water striders and feed them to the spiders on the side of my house.
What would you do if you saw a spider the size of a dinner plate?

Dear Coen,
To answer your question, I think I would scream and run as fast as I could! I don’t think I would be very brave because I honestly feel afraid when I see little spiders.
However, I loved your post and your voice shone through your research. I could actually hear you talking!
Thank you so much for teaching us about spiders. What creature are you studying next?

Dear Coen,
I love you’re post. I think I would do the same thing as Ms. Fordyce. I love the picture that you chose.

Hi Coen,
I think I would scream and run away. But I loved your picture of the spiders body parts.
What is your favorite kind of spider?

Dear Jessica,
My favorite spider is the elegant jumping spider. It is the size of a snickers minis candy.

Dear Coen,
I did not know much about spiders until I read your post on spiders. I think that they are pretty interesting. Thanks for teaching me about them!
