Using
Kidspiration.
We
use Kidspiration for what we call, "Thinking Maps" or "Organizational
Maps."
We
use the "Bubble Map" to tell about what we know about a given topic
or
to
tell descriptive words about a given object. Kidspiration has been
used
at
our school for the life cycle of a butterfly, and the life cycle of
a
plant. The children love the program.

Ant Farms
We ordered an ant
farm for an ongoing and easy maintenance insect
project. We added
sand we got from our playground. We also had to add 1
cup of water. The
ants came in the mail in a plastic tube. Once we added
them, we watched them
begin their tunnel digging process. Every day the
ants would have more
tunnels added. We fed them 2-3 bread crumbs and sugar
water. We talked
about and observed where the ants kept their food, where
they slept, and how
they worked.
By MB.
"The ants have a
queen. The ants only can eat a little bit of food."
By IR.
"Don't feed the ants
too much. And don't move the
farm, it will fall in
on the ants."
