La Casa de la Arana

Ever since we began studying animals, habitats have been popping up all over our classroom in the different centers.


Recently, a very excited Yadiel and Jangel came to me and insisted that I come see their creation in the block area.


I looked down to see a building they created out of blocks.  "Tell me about what you built."

Jangel: "The fly and the araña live in the house.

Yadiel: "Son amigos."

I look down and they had created a little door.  When I opened it, sure enough, there was a mosca and a spider inside. 

"I love that you made them friends.  Usually one of them is a predator, and the other is the prey."

Jangel:"They are going to come out when someone challenges them to a race."

"I wonder which one would win the race."

Yadiel: "La araña gana porque es rápido."

Next week, we are beginning story workshop.  I am very excited because my students have these stories with great ideas, that they create daily and need to be written down.
