more dirt and worms

There has been a lot of activity with dirt and worms this week. I enjoy watching the children observe the worms.  Some just watch without touching them, while others get right into the dirt and start digging with their hands (or with Popsicle sticks that are available for those who don't want to get their hands messy). And then there are those who let them crawl on their hands and arms. :)

How many worms did you find?

He had 12 worms dangling on his arm. 12!!!!

We measured worms during small group time. I stretched them out on a paper and the children marked their length.

After we measured the worms, we held and observed them.

They sure squirm around a lot!
