Monster Truck” – E
Dear Mulberry,
First, you found three spiders where we keep the cardboard and the paper for drawing, writing and making. I wondered if they were sisters. You thought the smallest one was the baby. Then you noticed more spiders.
There were three spiders living up in the rafters, one spider in each of the between spaces. Mama Stephanie thought they each had their own apartment. Maybe they were neighbors.
There were two more spiders you found in the Safe Area. These were in the corner by the bathroom, a small one living in a web above a larger spider. They were all long-bodied cellar spiders. These spiders carry an egg sac with as many as 60 eggs in the sac in their mouth until their babies hatch. Maybe they were all sisters.
I wonder if you and your grownup know a story about these spiders.
Love,
Teacher Michelle
