Ants

ANTS

This week were learning about ants. Fun! We caught some ants in our bug catcher and looked at the closely. I do have to say that it was hard to catch them with out killing them. Sorry ants that are now in ant heaven. One of D's favorite songs and books is The Ants Go Marching. We read it and sing it a lot. D and A have really begun to get close. He really wanted her in this pic.

Sad lesson learned today- D found a baby robin in the neighbor's sandbox and picked it up. He held it a little too hard and it kind of died later. Sad post today- Dead ants and dead bird. Should I also say then that last week at ECFE they had some little minnows in a bucket for the kids to catch with nets and D squished one and killed it. My goodness. Needless to say we have had quite a few discussions about how to be gentle.
