Alicia's mother writes, "I was proud of Alicia as this is one of the first times that she narrated!  She also drew a great queen
ant picture and labeled all the parts."

by Alicia, almost age 6

    Ants are insects.  They have a head, thorax, and abdomen.  They have two
antennae.  They smell, feel and wave their antennae around.  Ants have six
legs and a hard exoskeleton.

    Ants have eggs.  The queen ant lays them.  Father ants die after they
mate.  Larvae hatch from the eggs.  The larvae spin a cocoon around them.
This is called a pupa.  Next the ant comes out.
