Since it was Earth Day yesterday, this seemed like a good time to read our Wonderful Worms book. I stopped at Walmart on the way to school and bought some big fat night crawlers. The kids questioned me about why they had a plate at their seat, since it was not snack day. I read the book and showed a great video about the wonder of worms, then I gave each of them a night crawler on their plate to examine. Some were eager to pick them up, but a few-- not so much. We made charts to describe worms, they compared sizes, and gave them a name. It was great fun, and I got several hugs for being the best teacher ever -- and here are a few pictures. Can you guess which ones were not worm lovers?
Now they are writing "Worms are cool."
But also crawling around on the floor instead of sitting -- oh, well!
I think you are the bestest teacher ever,too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila, for the kind words. I think they are easily impressed...
