A is for Apple but A is also for Ant. For my first preschool lesson this year, I chose to teach my students about ants. It was fun!
As we started our day, we saw live ants building tunnels in their artificial ant hill. It was fascinating to see how ants work together as a team. My class also made our own ants out of egg cartons and pipe cleaners. (ant craft) We played an ant race game and we read ant books, too ! It was a day of preschool science, reading and fun!
