I is for Insects

There is a week unit study on Insects in our My Father's World curriculum and everything came together perfectly for us to really interact with the study this week!

the ants arrived (I still can't believe that I ordered/paid for ants to be mailed to us!)
and we set up our ant hill

they have been interesting to watch





while we were visiting,
the weekend before,
we asked Grandpa to give us a tour of his bee hives and honey process.






Corban and Abigail made this ladybug craft

And then, this weekend at the museum there was a Bugs event planned
with several activities,











learning stations,
and a ladybug release!


Corban got his ladybugs and was done. Abigail tried 3 times to get ladybugs but this was her reaction to them every time:



While Hadassah just quietly observed.
