This week the First Grade classrooms welcomed some amazing arachnids to observe and study. We are hosting "Charlotte" the tarantula, a beautiful orb spider, and two smart wolf spiders. In our Spider unit, the girls will learn all about these fascinating creatures, while also becoming familiar with non-fiction text features, distinguishing between facts and opinions, and learning to write scientific findings. Be sure to ask your daughter what a spider's web is made from or how a spider eats its food!

This Tuesday the First Graders were excited to participate in a time-honored Bryn Mawr tradition: Spirit Day! Dressed in their best green, white, and gold outfits, the girls spent the day writing journal entries on green paper, learning cheers in French, and learning more about Bryn Mawr's history. The day ended with a marvelous parade led by the Morgan State University marching band and our own Bryn Mawr king and queen. What a great day!
