Spring Exhibit was two weeks ago and our theme was ants. I finally finished putting my Ant Unit together, so I thought I would share the ant themed photos and the link to my Ant Unit. I am so done with ants! Unfortunately, it looks like I will have the nasty harvester ants in the gel ant farm for a while. Click {here} to read about my ant wrangling adventures. This new gel ant farm was so much easier to get them into.
My very creative co-workers came up with the ideas for ant faces on the bodies and the “If I Were an Ant” writing prompts. One of my students wrote, “If I were an ant, a candle would seem like an inferno.”
The page toppers for the “Dear Ant Bully” persuasive letters were inspired by the teachers at Peace, Love, and Kindergarten. I have included the activity and tracers {here} for free!

So super cute!!! Love all the craftivities (ok either not a word or I spelled it wrong…) that you did with it! Where do you find the time??? I have been meaning to email you and then life/work got in the way…you invited me to your classroom pets blog and then my hamster died 🙁 and my rabbit I had to bring home because it got into a fight with my roomies rabbit and hers was there first…..anywho, I now have the cutest, little fat guinea pig…her name is Blossom. I know you have one cuz I remember reading your adorable post about shopping for it:) Would love to chat with you about them:)

I love this ant unit! I cannot wait to put it in my cart for next year! Also, I want to thank you for inspiring me to have a class pet. I now have a little hamster sharing our learning space in second grade and the kids LOVE her , May. I downloaded your pets in the classroom unit and it really helped to get me started. Thank you for sharing such great ideas and resources!

Thank you so much for posting the tracers for the "Dear Ant Bully" project! I was getting ready to draw some pieces, but since I'm not an artist at all I decided to search first. So glad I did!!
