Science: Making a Wormery!

All this week we have been learning all about worms and how important they are to the environment. Today, Paige's Grammy joined us to make wormeries with the kids. She is a member of the Ribault Garden Club and they provided all the materials needed for the project.


The kids got a chance to add dirt, sand and newspaper to the wormery and their own worm to observe. After discussing some facts about worms, the kids each got to place their worm into the wormery. We will observe the worms again on Friday to see their tunnels throughout the wormery. Grammy even brought us all a "dirt pudding" snack with a gummy worm! Yum! A special thanks to Grammy and the Jacksonville Garden Club for this awesome opportunity. We can't wait for the next project!
