All the boys had a great Easter! Each boy got to search for eggs and eat copious amounts of candy. I was not well prepared this preschool day. We arrived home from Utah late the night before. Lucky for us the letter was W, I took liberty and changed the theme to worm. The weather was rainy and perfect for digging up worms. To practice the form of the letter W the boys practiced with chalkboards, and tracing the letter on paper. We learned about the life cycle of a worm. Then we got our coats on and got dirty!
Phillip was the first one to find a worm. At first the boys only skimmed the dirt, I showed them to dig deep where the worms live. Soon we uncovered over 25 worms. Each boy picked their favorites to take inside. Using paper clips the boys compared live worms with gummy worms. The worms were roughly the same length, but the real worms were much skinnier. Then we had dirt and worms for dessert. Ha ha. We tricked you! Our dirt was actually chocolate pudding with oreo crumbs and gummy worms squirming inside the pudding. We had a great time learning about the wiggly letter W.
