Today we were very lucky to have a presentation from Kananaskis in the Classroom.  We had a wonderful drama and song presentation which taught us all about the jobs of red and carpenter ants in the ecosystem. The students learned about the various stages of an ants life, their jobs and purposes, and the symbiosis (working relationship) between ants and other insect species.  It was very informative!
