Johnson’s Jumping Spider

Do you and your children enjoy nature journaling? If you have not already started a journal for recording your nature discoveries, I highly recommend. We keep a DISCOVERY JOURNAL, for things we find that are cool and want to learn more about. Our latest discovery: Johnson’s Jumping Spider!

You can also make this a Spanish learning experience by learning the name of your discovery in Spanish. Ask your children observation questions en español:

¿Cuántas patas tiene la araña? ¿Qué color es el bicho?

And for those who are a more advanced Spanish level, see how much of your observations you can write in Spanish!
