Itsy, Bitsy Spider

It's been a couple months since our last post. A lot has been happening, and we intend to write about as much as we can recollect. As there's no place better to start than the beginning, we'll start there:

The timing couldn't have been more perfect. In the days leading up to Halloween, Steph got the scare of a lifetime. She was at school, leaning against her classroom door while her students worked diligently on their assignments. She was on her way to deliver the attendence to the office (hub) when something caught her eye. A Huntsman spider was slowly crawling along the door frame toward her elbow. Upon spotting this hairy monster she went into a slight state of shock. She did not scream, cry or run away. Terror stricken, she calmly and quietly stepped backward and sat on the hallway floor staring in awe at the largest spider she had ever seen. If she was alone, who knows how long she would have sat there staring silently? Luckily a fellow science teacher, unphased by giant spiders, came to her rescue.
