Earthworms

As we studied the interdependce of animals and thier habitats, we took a close look at earthworms. The students created a Circle Map to share what they already knew about earthworms and then we read and added information from Diary of an Earthworm by Doreen Cronin. We then watched various short videos from Discovery Education about earthworms to learn about how earthworms use soil and how they help the soil. The students then drew their own earthworms and wrote at least two "Did you know?" facts about their earthworms. Their earthworms and writing were added to our class garden display.

  3. I love the "Did you know" activity. Great way to share knowledge.

    In my class, we spent a few days learning about earthworms too. Hope you can check it out.

  4. These earthworm writings are so cute! Thanks for sharing. My son's favorite book is Diary of a Worm. It's practically a nightly bedtime read. I am a new follower to your blog.

    Have a great Friday!
