We've had a lot of fun over at the
Monessen Public Library expanding on the
Dig into Reading Summer Reading theme.
We focused on worms this week and the Worm Races were a huge hit!
Instead of digging up our worm contestants, I bought a container of Nightcrawlers at the convenience store. I drew a circle on a tray and plopped our new friends in the center. First worm to the edge wins. The crowd went wild. As you can see we had a very clear winner.
After the race I handed out a little plastic cup with a worm in it for each of the kids. That way they could explore and touch the worms at their own pace and comfort level.
They squirmed and they tickled.
Just think, yesterday these worms were heading to their doom as fish bait. Today they are joining their friends in worm paradise, my compost bin.
