I hope I get black ants in my classroom.....

I loved the article we were assigned to read Black Ants and Buddhists. It was so cute! I was amazed at how these 2nd graders could infer things about paintings, religions, and class discussions. The way the students respected one anothers beliefs and opinions was amazing. They have really built a since of community in their classroom and the teacher is doing an amazing job felicitating it. The way she has people from different religions come in and talk to her class is a great way to incorporate social studies in the classroom. The black ants that day started a great new journey for her classroom and so if black ants ever come into my room I will gladly welcome the new visitors! :)
