Jacob and Ryan take a close look at the latest addition to our classroom - an ant farm. The children waited patiently for these ants to arrive in the mail. We can watch as these tiny creatures work hard and co-operatively to create tunnels. When the ants were given water, the children laughed and enjoyed the idea of the ants thinking it was raining. Our goal is to reinforce the concept that the tiniest living things in our world deserve our respect and awe. All of life is amazing.
How exciting! Thanks for the explaining the thinking behind this new addition. Sounds like a great opportunity on many levels.
