Welcome to our own first blog! We aim to voice the happenings at the library in one elementary school, somewhere in the United States. We are two two tarantula spiders who reside at this library, in two separate houses of course. We don’t do much all day but eat crickets and watch the marveled children gape at us. We wish we could tell them how we appreciate their interest, but as most of you know, spiders, especially tarantulas, don’t talk. We don’t even see that well!!! We usually feel the students’ presence, sometimes hide, other times do a bit performance. Just today, one child watched as Krista, my Mexican Red Knee pal, ate six crickets in a row! He was astounded.
Some great things that happen in the library will be recorded, and some that were not so great. We just want to describe what we see, so the friendly librarian that manages the library will remember, then either improve or discard the activities she has planned.
Sometimes, if we get inspired, we might write a few spider stories, riddles, or jokes. We hope that will be the icing on the cake.

I like your idea of getting down what works as well as what doesn’t. That gave me the idea of using a blogs archive ability to keep lessons plans for each day. I have them partially on the computer in Word right now, and organization of worksheets or websites could easily be linked to at the blog as well. It would make for an easy way to look at lessons from year-to-year in a less time consuming way. I might have to try this. Thanks for the idea.

What a great idea! The tarantulas are speaking! I think this is a great way to get younger students involved too. Think of the dialog that might transpire between them.
I will be back to check out what you are trying in the library and how it goes. Thank you.
