Ant City

	Dr. B. Hive, from the American Nature Tours Society, arrives, reads the proclamation announcing the grand opening of Ant City and cuts the official ribbon. Let the fun begin!
One of the greeters welcomes visitors and asks them to sign the guest book.	There are tons of things for tourists to see and do at Ant City.
You can play a math addition game with picnic mats and plastic ants.	You can make an ant hat or an ant rubbing.
There are plenty of stories to hear. Those written by famous authors or those written by the creators of Ant City (classbooks).
	Visitors, young and old, like to hear stories about ants.
Ant experts love to explain about the crawling critters and the chambers you can find in an anthill.
This is a food hole where worker ants store the food.	You can make things at Ant City, like the four stages of an ant's life cycle. The workers at this stop will tell you all about the stages and they especially like the part when the boy ant dies and gets eaten.
Talking to ant experts is always fun and informative.
Did you know you can see live video of a real anthill on the Internet? Go to www.antcam.com	Dr. B. Hive gets a little help from a kindergarten student with a computer activity.
Ant tunnels are everywhere in Ant City....even on the windows!
Of course, everyone likes to watch real ants at work, even these third graders.
A poem by Sarah: Ants, ants, everywhere. On the ground and in the air. I love Ants!
