Creepy Crawlies

One of the benefits that Beth has found in being a science teacher here at Woodstock is that everyone loves to bring her specimens. The other day we saw another giant spider in our house. Beth caught it and brought it in to show her science students. It was a great success and the animals have been coming in often these past two weeks. We haven't been able to get pictures of all of them, but here is a sampling. There have been beetles and leeches:

Spiders and caterpillars:

And, of course, snails and centipedes:

Beth has instituted a rule that anything brought in to the classroom will be released the same day. Hopefully this gets students excited to find more critters and keeps Beth from becoming the caretaker of hundreds of animals for the middle school.
