Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Without warning, the kindergarteners exclaimed that a ladybug was taking a walk all over their teacher's shirt! Of course, the camera was sitting inside. We would not be caught off guard again! Would this ladybug stick around so we could play with it that afternoon? On our way to our Forest classroom this last Thursday, we checked out a tree famous for having ladybugs. Even with the magnifying glasses, we still could not spot a single ladybug! Guess who showed up when we were supposed to be doing our work? A ladybug, of course! What a brave soul it was as we swarmed around it like wasps. We could not get enough of that ladybug. After a while, it had had enough of us so it flew off. Would another one come to visit? As Forest Friday unfolded, our hunt resumed. Was it too cold? Maybe it was too shady? While we waited, we made a map marking each ladybug siting. No matter where we looked, it seemed like the ladybugs had disappeared. Just when we were preparing to go for a walk, someone spotted a ladybug! After the pandemonium subsided, we transported it to the other end of the playground so we could listen to a ladybug story. Somehow, it disappeared again! After returning from our walk, to what seemed like the ends of the earth, we went back to our play. One more ladybug joined us just before the very end of the day. It didn't stay too long. I guess it had to go home just like we did! That was one busy, but successful hunt!
