Spiders!

October brings a month full of studying the 8-legged creatures! We wil find out why they're important to nature, the types of webs they build, and specifics about body parts.

Be prepared to hear lots of fun facts!

Our science table is reserved for observations of spiders, so if you find one, please send it in a closed container.
