Jun. 30, 2008 - Truman's Aunt Farm
We read the book Truman's Aunt Farm. This fun book had a lot of homophones in it and we had some good laughs discussing it as we learned more about our language. We made an ant placemat which Gabriel is still using and we ordered an ant farm. We got our harvester ants on May 8th. It is illegal to ship the queen ant and of corse you have to have the queen to keep the colony going, therefore,the ants will naturally die out within 2-4 weeks, or so they say!! It is June 29th and we still have 2 alive! Maybe I should contact the Genis book of ant records?:) Anyway, though it may sound odd, we learned so much from watching our ants. I truely don't know who enjoys them more, Gabriel or myself. 
Reading the book at Coop.
Gabriel's ant placemat.
Gabriel was so excited when his ants arrived. They came in a tube that you place in the fridge for a few minutes so they can't move too fast as you are pouring them into the ant farm. You don't want them to escape-they will bite.
Day one
They created this many tunnels after only 4 days.
Ants are amazing team workers.
June third and still going strong.
