what a busy day!
we squeezed in some practice while the UWA heroes stopped by to visit.
we watched a short video on ants...
and then read Thinking About Ants. We learned many interesting facts but focused on one in particular: queen ants shed their wings when they are establishing a new colony.
and we even had a live example of the queen shedding her wings!
our friend Case brought in a queen ant in a bowl.
she had shed her wings in the bowl!
what a great learning moment!
we also went outside to visit Ms. Kim's experiment from Monday. her class put different foods on a plate near an ant bed. we noticed that they we most attracted to a vanilla wafer which they had broken into small granules to carry back to the colony.
and here is the ant bed.
so Tuesday was our annual Hero Day for our Scholastic Book Fair.
students and staff were to dress as heroes or in red and white.
we had male and female athletes visit from every UWA sport.
we had 90 athletes total!!!
they read to us...
played in centers with us...
and sat with us at snack :)
we had a great turnout in the morning...
and even more in the afternoon!
thank you to each of you who took time out of your day to visit us.
it means more to our students than you will ever know.
you ARE their heroes!
Go Tigers!!!
