The Creepies and Crawlies are out!

Friends~I know this might sound crazy but we found ants in our house today and I am thrilled!  Not because I love ants but because it is finally getting warm enough for them to creep!  I am from the North but being down South for 6 years has really thinned my blood.  I am a total wimp!  Recess duty at 40 degrees is outrageous to me when in Ohio I remember standing out there in the snow.  Hallelujah for ants and bugs creeping all around NC today!  


67 degrees...I have missed you!

I have to repost this picture from last summer.  It is my all time favorite creepy crawly photo!
That is my little guy Ian and a snail friend that he found digging around at a park!  I crack up at the snail is just checking things out!


I love to use the world of insects as a springboard for teaching.  Lucky for me- we have life cycles as a science standard!  So far this year we have studied the life cycle of a spider and a frog.  

Next on the list is jumping into the world of creepy crawlies of all kinds! 
Listen to this fun insect song that I teach my class every year!

  1. Hi Monica!

    What a great song! Thanks for sharing it on Classroom Freebies. Is this a song you made up or is it one whose author we don't know?

    Thanks,
    Anna
