Spiders, What Am I? by Katelyn Stewart https://padlet.com/stewartka/dog34mtwipp9 Throughout this unit students learned how to write information pieces about spiders through creating "What am I" poems! We learned about spiders and their webs from the book Spiders! We then had the opportunity to write about the new knowledge we gained in writing. The students worked both hard and diligently and this is a collection of their work- we hope you enjoy reading it and learn something too! en-us 2017-10-23 03:44:06 UTC 2017-12-04 01:04:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Written like a riddle: stewartka https://padlet.com/stewartka/dog34mtwipp9/wish/212681475 Does not reveal the topic or subject.
