ReplyDeleteMichelle, not sure why I got four copies of the same comment. When I tried to delete the extras, this is what happened. Can you delete the first three? Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHooray, Leslie--such fun and so informative!
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem, Leslie! Spi-ku is going on my want to read list!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie (and Michelle) I loved your poem and learning about this type of spider. I am eager to get your book. I know it will be a hit with many (but not my sister who for some reason cannot abide spiders, so poor her). Loved your video.

What an interesting spider!!! Loved your poem!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Great poem to kick off the month, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyed this! I have a bit of a thing for spiders (and spider poetry) myself - SO clever. I knew about the hunting technique, but not the - um - camouflage! Great kick-off. Thanks, Leslie, and Michelle. (My teacher-daughter is sharing these posts with her third graders!)
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled you are sharing these posts with your daughter, Robyn. I'm hoping more teachers can discover these resources so we can get more children's poetry collections and anthologies into classrooms!
