After convocation, we met up with a group of 7th graders who would serve as our buddies for the bulk of the day. Our first activity was to use recycled materials to create a project called "Recycled Blooms." We had been collecting colorful boxes, small lids from bottles, and straws for the past several weeks. Using these materials we got to work:
Visit the Art Show beginning on Thursday to see all of our Recycled Blooms!
After, we headed outside for some chalk drawings:
Next up was lunch and recess with our seventh grade friends and then we headed back to room 230 for........... Worms!!
We enjoyed the story Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin:
We also watched this short video about how worms are helpful and how to create your own worm farm!
As much as I thought it would be fun to create our own worm farm in 1A, I thought creating an edible one might be even more exciting!
Using the following ingredients, we got to work creating our own edible worm farms:
- chocolate pudding
- Cool Whip
- crushed Oreos (minus the frosting middles)
- gummy worms
Here's some photos of us making our worm farms, our finished products, and a few friends in 1A EATING WORMS!
Maybe you can make a real worm farm at home!
It was a terrific Earth Day at FSB!
First graders what can you do to help our planet? Post your idea so everyone can read it!
