Jumping Spider




The jumping spider is one of the cutest spiders in the spider kingdom.  They just happen to be my favorite spider.

Here is a great video of one of these spiders attacking a bee:

The Snake Game

This game was flagged as inappropriate for elementary school students because of the advertising and sidebar links. I will look for a similar game but I will put the link for this website here: http://www.onemotion.com/flash/snake-game/

All the games on this site are fine, although not educational.
