HEY LITTLE ANT
Student Work

In March, Clow 4th grade students write a life-size story entitled "Hey, Little Ant."  Here's what it's about. 

Kid:  Hey, little ant down in the crack, Can you hear me?  Can you talk back? See my shoe, can you see that?   Well now it's gonna squish you flat!

Ant:  I can see you're big and strong, Decide for yourself what's right and wrong, If you were me and I were you, What would you want me to do?

End:  Should the ant get squished?  Should the ant go free?  It's up to the kid, not up to me.   We'll leave the kid with the raised-up shoe.  What do you think that kid should do?

During Open House all of our senses were stimulated as we walked through our life-size story of "Hey, Little Ant."
