I have had a Blast Teaching 12 energetic kids about insects in our co-op. It is funny how much I love bugs! I owe it to my mom I guess. She taught me to respect the creepy crawly creatures. I love to look at them up close, to touch them, and even pick them up and let them tickle me. My Brother Jack can share a time I did a no no Ha Ha! I took his butterfly collection out of the house without his permission and the whole thing crashed to the pavement and I broke his wonderful framed collection. I am sorry Jack!
Hannah is having fun in the class as my helper and also learning about the bug tradition of being a good steward of our earth. I know there are some bugs that are pests. Well, we are learning about that too. Good bugs and bad bugs all have a purpose. Fascinating Stuff for a kid and for me!
