Diary of an Insect by Ms. Carlino's 2nd Grade 2007
What's all the "buzz" about? This book is a product of a lot of hard work. We had to keep a journal and do a lot of research in order to put this book together. We dedicate it to all the people who drive us "buggy!" 1
Mitchell Griffith Fire Ant Today I woke up and went to Ant School. I wrote about people because they are my fear. I don't see people in my tunnel, but I do see them when I go to watch my friend play Antball. Where the catcher sits, behind him are 2 fences. They are always crawling with people. People are so scary! 2
