WORMS!


We had fun with a mini unit/review on soil composition and worms. Lots of fun getting dirt under our nails and documenting the process with Crayola and photography.




We cleaned out the jar from our soil composition experiment and then made a worm hotel, kids absolutely loved it, although they didn't want to touch the wiggly worms. We read tons of great worm books and learned a lot about our little garden helpers.


We also grew celery from celery (I got such a kick out of turning scraps into a new plant! We dug deeper into learning about composting, we have been composting for years, but now that Monkey has learned about it, he's really into it and tagalong Froggy is too!

We had loads of fun with our mini worm unit, it was so simple and cost us only the cost of purchasing some worms from Walmart!
