Constructing an Ant Playground

We read a nonfiction story this week called "Ant." We learned a lot of great new facts about ant life and different kinds of ants. I thought it might be neat for the kids to build an ant playground/amusement park. They decided their groups, came up with construction company names, named their playgrounds, and came up with the rules that would be followed by the ants. Adorable! The kids had a ball with it and their creativity, as always, shined through!
