Earlier in October, the full day children were enjoying a warm and sunny recess in our 'soccer field' at the back of our property. Much to our surprise and delight, our 'soccer field' had become a playing field for dozens and dozens of ladybugs! They were flying here, there and everywhere!
Why were there so many ladybugs and why were they so interested in our playground? Each fall, the children learn about hibernation and migration. Some of our older students remembered that ladybugs hibernate! But where did they want to hibernate? Although the ladybugs were getting into our hair and our coats, we soon discovered their hibernation destination.

The ladybugs wanted to hibernate in our shed!

Many ladybugs are now cozily resting in our shed for the winter. We had so much fun chasing, catching and releasing them. We hope they have a good winter and we look forward to seeing them again in the spring.
