Aloud:
Ants on a Log {By
Briana}
The ants are out,
Marching one by one,
They walk in a
straight line,
They love to be in the
sun,
The ants are small,
But they are all
around,
Marching on a wall,
Marching on the
ground,
Marching on a log,
Is where they can be
found.
*Stallone Tested and Approved:
It was really fun watching Stallone make
his Ants on a Log today. He enjoyed
spreading the peanut butter and he would say, “Mmmm!” He liked counting the raisins and placing
them on the logs. This was a great
activity that was fun to make and delicious!
