Take a look at what the 3rd and 4th graders are doing in French class: http://fesfrench.blogspot.com/
The topic for September was spiders, and students learned about the similarities and differences between spiders and insects, which connected to a unit of study on insects, life cycles and interdependence. They participated in a number of activities - watching a puppet show, building a paper spider, while learning the names and correct placement of the parts, and identifying a number of live spiders in jars. They also practiced "being a spider", testing their ability to feel the vibrations on a string, as a spider would sense its prey. The lesson culminated with a trip outside to look for more spiders and webs, which were in abundance around the building.
