Our curious scientists spent the week learning all Our curious scientists spent the week learning all about worms!🪱

We made careful observational drawings ✏️ , created cozy worm habitats, and went on exciting worm hunts to see these amazing creatures up close. The children loved observing how worms move, dig, and help the earth!

Hands-on learning + a little bit of wiggly fun = one unforgettable week of discovery! 💚
