Greetings! I am back from my professional development trip to Portland and I am so happy to be back! It was great to see all of the kids this morning\u00a0and I got lots of hugs- definitely filled up my bucket. \ud83d\ude42 The kids had lots of questions about the school I visited and what life in Portland, OR is like. We had many questions about what the children from Portland were like.<\/p>\n

When I\u00a0came in this\u00a0morning, Da’Sean and Messi\u00a0had news about the worms- they had eaten almost ALL of our leaves and newspaper in the compost bin. WOW! It took those worms only about a week to turn all of that material into rich, black, nutrient filled soil. The kids also remarked on the increase of egg cases on the worms- signs they have mated and are carrying baby worms! We pulled out a few worms to observe other changes. Miss Schmidt and I asked the kids to represent the changes in the worms\u00a0using\u00a0clay\u00a0or various ribbons and string.<\/p>\n

The more he eats, the fatter he gets! Ruth<\/p>\n

And the longer he gets! Carriea<\/p>\n

What if we twist those around? Its an egg case! They got an egg case! And when the eggs are inside, and when the case comes off it turns into… Messi<\/p>\n

Its a cocoon and baby worms come out! Aidan<\/p>\n

We knew that! Da’Sean<\/p>\n

We all knew that! Tajanaye<\/p>\n

My worms are gonna have eyes, but they don’t really have em. This one is long, this one is shorter. The long one ate more. Here’s an egg case!\u00a0Tajanaye<\/p>\n

I made five baby worms! How many hearts are there? Aidan<\/p>\n

I made a little worm with five hearts. Regan<\/p>\n

He doesn’t have hands or legs. He just has hearts! Aidan<\/p>\n

It all starts with an egg case. Ruth<\/p>\n
