There are a couple of these spiders that have made tomato plants their homes for the last month. The other day, I found a third smaller one and fed it a grasshopper which it successfully wrapped into its web.
The first week of August was the last clay camp at Mud Slingers Pottery. What a great group to finish with! There was a lot of imaginative and fun work going on. I hope to encourage this creativity in the science classroom as I embark on my student teaching starting next week!
I've been prep talking my two dogs, about how they're going to be home without walks for longer periods of time. These talks are mostly for my own good, but maybe they get some sense of my feelings.
