Some Spider!

We are still learning a lot about spiders.  Today we did a spider web quest.  We are working on spider reports and we can't wait to share all we have learned.  We did a simulation of how spiders "ballon."  After we made our "spider parachutes" we made up plays and performed them for the class.  We all have such big imaginations and love to be creative. 
Our class is reading Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.  Second graders, think about these questions.  Leave a comment on the blog with your answers to at least two questions.
  • Why is Chapter X titled  "The Explosion?"
  •  If you were Charlotte, what would you have written in your web about Wilbur? Why?
  • Why did Avery get sent to bed without any supper?(Chapter XI)
  • What is the meaning of the word "idiosyncrasy?"  What is the goose's "idiosyncrasy?"  Do you have one?(Chapter XII)
  • Why did the sheep say that Wilbur's destiny and Templeton's destiny were closed linked?
  • What clues are in the story that tell you that Mr. Dorian is not worried about Fern?
We can't wait till next week!

Question 2: I would have said that Wilbur was nice and thank you to him if I wrote in my own web.

Question 5: They had a close linked destiny because they both wanted to go to the fair.

1. The Explosion chapter was about the rotten egg that cracked and the putrid, gross smell exploded in the barnyard. Tempelton loved the way the egg smelled.
2. Mr. Dorian is not worried about Fern because he thinks Fern will move on and not sit in the barn and talk to the animals.
