Doing the Worm Wiggle

Tuesday's class at the garden was about earth worms.  The kids learned about why they are so good for the soil.  They also worked on putting together the worm hotel.  I'm not 100% sure why they have it but it does produce "worm tea" which is a great fertilizer!

The kids tore up leaves to add to the worm hotel as food for the worms.

Here is that worm hotel (and Ms. Lisa) ...

The kids also got to take home a couple of worms.  Notice Rylan is picking one up and not squirmish at all!

Rylan is searching for another one in Ms. Lisa's hand ...

Carter's turn ...

Worms!!!

When we finally got home (about 6 hours later!) we put the worms in the cosmos the boys have been growing from seeds from the gardening class.  We really need to plant these poop pots in the yard before they start disintegrating but they are still in our screen porch.
