Special Guest

On Wednesday, Willa's mom came to visit our classroom as our special guest. She has a dog grooming business and showed the students several ways she takes care of them. They learned how to brush, comb, and clean the dog's ears. They also had a blast petting Bernie and Franky!

Blind as a Worm

On Tuesday we did an experiment and pretended like we were a worm. Since worms don't have eyes, they closed their eyes and relied on their sense of touch and reached in a paper bag to choose an item. They then used descriptive words to describe their object.

Zachary said, "It's round and bumpy. On the inside it's tickley."

Tyson said, "What is it?"

Zachary said, "I don't know."

Tyson said, "Open your eyes. Look."

Zachary said, "It's a lid!"

Vivian said, "It's hard Not crunchy. Very hard." (plastic toy dog)

Kalen said, "Um... It's hard."

Alphabet worms?

After taking a closer look at our night crawlers, some of the children discovered that we could use the worms to make letters! Kalen said "Look, Ms. Catherine, it's a 'U'!"

** No worms were harmed in the making of this project!** While they may have preferred to be left alone, we managed to safely deposit all the worms in the compost bin...still alive!

Brandon shows us his drawing of a worm, teeth and all!
