It is "worm weather!" as the kids have been saying. The ample spring rain has created the perfect conditions for muddy fields and tons of worms to discover. Digging in the dirt, the kids observed worm tunnels, the different sizes and shapes of worms, and the slippery, slimy feeling of worms in their hands. Practicing gentleness, as worms are living creatures, the kids observed the worms' segmented, strong bodies, looking at the veins and different colors of the skin. We also talked about how worm eggs hatch from a cocoon underground, where worms enjoy the dark, cool, and damp dirt. We also discovered acorn weevil larvae in our search!
