Captain Curiosity

This morning Andrew started a class at Curiosity Zone http://www.curiosityzone.com/. Curiosity Zone is a store/science lab for kids and Andrew attended a birthday party there in December. I was totally impressed with what the "teachers" at the birthday party were able to do with 15-20 wild 4 and 5 year olds, so I was interested to see how Andrew would react to a class there. He LOVED it. The theme of this session's class is called Captain Curiosity and it's all about help the armadillo (Captain Curiosity) find a good place for his home. Today, they learned about ants and if the colony would be a good place for Captain Curiosity to build a home. They made ant hats with feelers so they could learn how ants communicate by rubbing their feelers against each other and carried food through tunnels like ants do. Andrew brought home a little book that they will fill up with pages during the class and he will NOT let it go. I cannot wait to see what they do next weekend.

Hi Amy: I was so excited to see your Blog about Andrew! I created the Curiosity Zone for exactly this kind of reward; the pictures of Andrew with his ant headband made my day! Would you consider letting us share this story on our web site?

All the best,
