Squirmy Wormy

In science we are learning about habitats.  We started with the wiggly, creepy, crawly, squirmy wormy.  The kids LOVE when I exaggerate their gross-ness and they say things like "Mrs. Schutte, there's a worm in your hair!"  and I scream.  It's a hoot- I stop at nothing to get the kids excited about something.  :)

Anyway- here's what we did:

We read Wonderful Worms by Linda Glaser.

And then we talked about all the things in a worm habitat- dead leaves (for them to eat), tunnels, other animals, rocks, roots, etc.

We then made the worm habitats with our crayons and added a yarn worm.  Here's how they turned out:

We are supposed to get the remnants of Hurricane Issac this weekend (about 4-6 inches), so maybe some of those worms will surface and the kids will actually get to see some worms this weekend and be able to recall what we learned.  :)

Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone!!
