Insect Week...

Laura and I have started a little co-op just the two of us for the boys and girls too.  We are doing a letter of the week and focusing on a topic for that week.  This week the letter was "I" and we focused on Insects.  So we found books and all kinds of things on bugs-every boy's dream right!  And I spent Monday evening on the search for bugs in our backyard- we found a cricket on Jeremiah's leg one morning which we swooped into a container.  We took a magnifying glass and looked at our bugs.  We read stories of insects and other six legged friends.  We sang songs- Ants Go Marching One By One and Taking Home a Baby Bumblebee.  We ate ants on a carrot log for our lunch.  And we topped out the end of the week with a trip to the Insect House- who doesn't like Giant Cockroaches from Africa and other not so fun friends.
