We've had a busy week, full of hands-on-learning!

This week we focused on learning the parts of an insect.  

Have you heard your child singing this song?!?

Head, thorax, abdomen, abdomen.

Head, thorax, abdomen, abdomen.

Eyes, six legs, antennas too.

Head, thorax, abdomen, abdomen!

(Sung to the tune of "Head, shoulders, knees and toes")

Ours ants have arrived!  We learned that our ants can bite/sting so teachers handled them with caution.  By putting the ants in the refrigerator, it slowed them down allowing us to place them carefully in their new home...our ant hill!
