The Ant Project

Ian had one of those wonderful projects that teachers give first graders. And we all know who really does those first grade projects don't we! But we are lucky that Ian wants to do a lot of it himself. So it isn't that bad for us parents. Ian's class has been studying insects, and they had to make a three-dimensional insect of their choosing. When Abby did this project, we did a ladybug. Ian chose a fire ant. It was interesting and we learned a lot about fire ants. We used Styrofoam balls and base, felt pieces of fabric, pipe cleaners, and wooden Popsicle sticks. It turned out pretty good.

Also this past week, was Grandparent's Day at the kid's school. We don't have any pictures of this since we were not there. But Grammy, Granddaddy, Gran-Gran, and Uncle came to school for the day. Each class performed a couple of songs, and showed off their classroom and projects they were working on. From what we hear, it was a fun day.
