Jumping Worms???

Have you ever heard of Jumping Worms??? I know I sure hadn't until today and we actually got to see and try to hold them. Yes, we had Sandy Stroh, who owns a worm farm come and talk to us today. She brought 3 kinds of worms and some worm eggs and lots of worm casts. Ask your child the names of the 3 kinds of worms she had an also what a person who studies worms is called. If they can tell you, write it in the planner for free money. I wonder how many are now going to become this and start their own little worm farms. She gave lots of info. on how to get started. The best thing is: she will even buy the worms they raise. What a great little entrepreneurs we may have in the near future!!!! We continued with our Metric Measurement today in Math. We measured items in the classroom to the nearest millimeter and centimeter. Once we are done with all three measurement components, we are going to have a little Metric Olympics to put it all into practice. How fun will that be!!! Today in Social Studies, we had a little introduction to our Hawaiian Project. Ask them what they get to do in groups of 3. Can't wait to see what they plan. Best planned itinerary may find themselves with a fun little reward at the end. Remember the Bike Rodeo tomorrow after school from 3:30-4:30. Register for a chance to win a free bike and also helmets will be given away so come and check out the fun and get your bike ready for some fun, safe summer riding. $500 for those that go. Also the STEM Night is on Friday from 6-8. Again $500 for those that go. Remember to get those dioramas here this week. Have a great night.
