Wiggly Worms Dig into Reading, Summer 2013

Wiggly Worms Dig into Reading

A rainbow of worms came out of their tunnels when the rain began to fall. 
Earthworms breathe through their skin - they have no lungs!
(Or arms or legs or eyes, for that matter)  But they have plenty of heart:  five to be exact!
Idea for rhymes and flannel board came from:

The Big Fat Worm, by Nancy Van Laan
These finger puppets will help the children retell the story of The Big Fat Worm,
by Nancy Van Laan, thus enhancing their narrative and sequencing abilities.

Earthworm Math and Science Link
Meet Anna, Anna Lid!
 An earthworm is an annelid, or a segmented worm.
 We strung beads to make segmented worms and named them all Anna Lid!
They sure did wiggle and squirm!  This worm can also be used to retell the story
of Hermie the Worm, a Girl Scout camp story.

Gross Motor Skills and Teamwork!
We worked together to try and help the "earthworms",
or balls, tunnel back through the center hole of the parachute.
