But, our Book of the Month was Hey Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose and I decided to allow the ants to visit, but only if they promised to stay in their little Ant Farm, they agreed....

I have been impressed by the amount of writing the students and teachers have done about our little friends. |

| Everyone who enters, has to stop and say hello to the ants. |
Along with the Ant Farm, I have a journal for the students to respond in and I also have figures of an ants' life cycle.
Hey Little Ant is a wonderful book that causes the reader to think a little more about the ant's perspective. Hey Little Ant, how would you feel if I were you? We used this book to also teach Habit #5 Seek First to Understand then to be Understood. Our school focuses on the 7 Habits of Happy Kids, and this year the books of the Month have all had a focus on one habit, which has been a great way to remind us how important these habits are.
I have been wanting to try stations in the Library, and this was a great starter station!
