It was a lot of fun to have Mr. Mike come from Seattle Tilth and do a "Soil in a Box" presentation with our class. We enjoyed his humor and the over-sized, sunglass-wearing worm that accompanied him. We learned some interesting worm facts such as how many hearts they have, the myth behind if a worm would live if it were split into two, and that all worms can have babies. If that's not all, we discovered how valuable worms castings are (and that it's a fancy/scientific name for saying worm poop!). Ask your child to tell you about it. We thought that the giant worm that Mr. Mike brought in was funny, but we came to find out that there's really an earth worm called the Giant Gippsland, that's about the same size!  

I would like to thank Ms. Leland for helping us with the behind the scenes work and arranging more learning opportunities for us. And a BIG THANK YOU to the QAE PTSA for funding our guest speaker-it's fun to have entertaining experts work with our kids.
