The Official Eric Carle Web Site - Caterpillar Exchange Bulletin Board The following are ideas for using Every year during August we explore a unit of insects and spiders. One classroom spider favorite is catching live spiders and keeping them in a closed container to observe. We then catch numerous other bugs and feed them to the spider. The students are curious how the spider catches them, kills them, spins them, and then eats them. Our observations continue until the unit is over and then we let the spider go. After students have observed real orb spiders webs on nature walks or from your classroom spider, encourage the students to notice the details and characteristics of the web. Then invite the students to create their own orb spider webs with spaghetti, glue and dark construction paper. Older students can also create great webs with white or colored glue in the bottles on dark construction paper. When the glue dries, have the children make rubbings with crayons and chalk.
