Worms

Spring was in the air and my science theme this week was soil and plants.  I challenge myself to add new ideas to my curriculum, so this theme I added worms! We talked about where worms live, what they eat, and how they are helpful to the Earth.  We graphed if we liked worms (everyone said yes), we painted with worms (cooked spaghetti noodles), and we observed real worms in our classroom.  It was easy to find the worms (at Walmart) and I set them out in the classroom and we used our 5 senses to observe them.  Again, I was very happy that every student touched the worm. 









eventually we took the worms outside and watered the ground and dug up some dirt and put them in the dirt.  About an hour later we came back outside to see what happened.  Our prediction was that the worms might be on the sidewalk, might be in the dirt, might get eaten by a bird.  what we found out was that most of our worms disappeared....probably into the soil we decided.  A few of our worms died (more water next time and spread them our more).


Easter

We had a great time celebrating Easter this week! Now on to a much needed break!
Here are our rainbow Easter bunnies that I found on pintrest.  We painted first, then decorated the bunnies the next day.


We also made crosses to remember that Jesus died for our sins.
