Things Close to the Ground - Worms - MFW 1st Grade - Week 1

Week 1 - Day 4

'Silent Heroes'

For worm day today we were able to get some hands on action. I bought two types of worms, big reds and Canadian night-crawlers. I also bought these clear plastic containers from the garden section (very cheap). My thought was to put a smaller container into the bigger one in hopes of seeing the worms more easily. This did not accomplish that at all lol. I also poked small holes into the center container so i could put water into the center and it would slowly leak into the dirt. We put some grass seed on top. I most likely will take the center out and let the kids to to play with the worms later before putting the worms in the garden.

Then we drew a worm picture and then painted it with watercolors.
