My students LOVE this activity! What better way to compare living vs non-living things than to compare earthworms to gummy worms! I have included 2 versions of this recording sheet, one in which your students write in their conclusions and one where they can circle their conclusions. All you will...

Spring is here and for my family that means lots of digging and planting in our gardens. We were just putting new flowers in this weekend any my kids were having a blast digging up earthworms and moving them around to different parts of the garden!Earthworms are squiggly and wet and fun to play with and learn about. They are actually pretty fascinating little creatures that are quite beneficial. If you have a lot of earthworms in your garden, this is the perfect time to learn about them and to use them as a science unit study. Here are some fun earthworm themed printables and science experiments that your kids will enjoy!
We've started one of my favorite science units to teach, on worms! A lot of grown-ups are grossed out by wriggling worms, but I think they'r...
After we investigated worms, the kids decided on a mural as the project to show what they had learned. One thing they all helped with was painting the soil, then they worked in teams to make different parts of the mural. One team cut some green paper for grass. They studied what worm tunnels looked like and painted them onto the soil. After each team worked on the part of the mural they signed up for, they wrote information that they wanted to share about their part of the project. Another team used books to review what worms look like so they wouldn't miss any details! Then they made some worms and added them to the tunnels. The top one says, "At night worms bring dead leaves into the soil." Another team worked on the cocoons which they learned held the eggs until they hatched. One team wanted to paint flowers and make roots to show how worms help them. Many kids were very interested in how the worms created castings that helped hide their tunnels from predators and also helped plants grow by providing food. One big interest that surprised me was the predator/prey relationships! If we had another month of school, I think they would have loved to do an inquiry on the food chain. After reading a book called "Feathers For Lunch," they made the connection through their own discussion that the worm eats the dirt, the bird eats the worm, the cat eats the bird! They thought that was so cool! They used the same book to investigate which local birds were worm eaters to add to the mural. They were also really starting to get into the different types of birds and what sounds they made! Another possible inquiry had we more time! They also found out other predators liked to eat worms such as moles, hedge hogs and snakes, so they had to add these to the mural also! They also glued feathers to wooden clothespins after studying what robins, blue jays and house wrens looked liked. They did such a great job making them accurate but I didn't get photos of them! They also added some documentation from worm observations. Here is the finished mural! I now know, because of these little researchers, more than I ever thought I would know about worms! They truly loved this inquiry and took ownership of it! The more I have learned this year to let go and let the kids pick what to study based on their interests and experiences, the more I see with my own eyes the value in it! I am having more fun teaching than ever before! Of course, this big group of scientists and engineers that I have this year have made it extra enjoyable!
Hello Everyone!! 2014 is almost here! We are staying home, safe and sound in our living room this year! I am so happy!! We had a houseful of love and laughter this past week with both boys and friends here, and frankly, I am pooped!! It feels good to not have to cook, clean, dress up, and be "on" for a few hours!! But at the same time, I miss them already!!! I do, finally, have a minute to show a couple of pics from the week before winter break. One of my favorite days was our Grinch Day. We love celebrating the special message that Dr. Seuss illustrates in this infamous story! Here are a couple of pics! The kids went all out with grinchy green spirit! The grinch sent some sweet little elves to check on our kindness and make sure we learned from the story! Jolly, Joy, and Jingle made their debut and will probably hang around throughout the new year!! A yummy green snack was mysteriously left for the kids!! This amazing team really gets into every celebration!! I also wanted to share with you something our room moms made for our classrooms!!! The kids brought gift cards to clip onto this amazing snowman tree!! We have the best room moms around!!! When we get back from winter break we will be studying the historically significant and amazing life of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the World. I put together a little unit about her, integrating social studies and ELA. Here are a few pics from the 17 page unit. For your own printable unit on Eleanor Roosevelt, click here!! Another thing we will begin studying is the science concept of living and nonliving. I have shared a mini unit on this topic before, but I revamped it a bit, so I'm offering it again! Here are a few pics from the 9 page unit. For your little living/nonliving unit click here!! I hope these little offerings will help your 2014 get off to a good start. Stay tuned for a little somethin' somethin' later in the week!! Till then, be safe and warm tonight. Welcome 2014!!! Joyfully! Nancy

Last week, we did one of my favorite themes - worms! The kids always love this theme too. We started it off with our small groups reading from the Reading A to Z books. As soon as they saw the cover they got all excited. I love that. Excited to learn. Imagine that. In our whole group, we read a few different books. Here some of the books we read during the week. Amazon.com Widgets As we read, we added details to our planning page. Then, we wrote our "sloppy" copy for our "All About Worms" writing activity. We also compared Diary of a Worm and Wonderful Worms. This picture doesn't show it, but we found a LOT of ways they were similar...and of course how they were different. They kept finding ways that the fictional book was still true. Awesome! We also made a worm habitat! They wrote out the steps of "How to Build a Worm Habitat." Then we made it! We made our first observation. They were so excited that even after one day, there were all kinds of different tunnels. Then, today we did the 2nd observation. The poem in my Worm pack lends itself nicely to reviewing adjectives Our skill this week was measurement. I started off by reading Inch by Inch by Leo Lioni Then we read our Inchworm's Trip poem. It came from {THIS} book. Then I passed out some worms for everyone to measure. I love using these worms. These are the worms that we used. The next day, the kids got to use the worms to measure different items in the class. This activity comes from my All About Worms pack. If you don't have a bucket of these worms in your class, I included some worms in the pack that you can print and laminate to use for this activity. He was totally amazed that it took that many worms - ha! Then it was time to break out the rulers! By the end of the week, I was able to conference with the kids on their sloppy copy writing so they could write their neat copy. While the writing activity comes from my All About Worms pack, the oh-so cute craft comes from Rowdy in Room 300- her worm glyph pack.
It was a frosty 10 degrees on Monday morning and our schedule for the day included time in the outdoor classroom first period. I was a bit worried that the children would not be enthused about spen…

Hello Everyone! We finished our study of living and nonliving things with a fun (and a little slimy) activity. "Gummy Worms vs Earth Worms...
