In Social Studies, we had a blast this week learning about maps, a map key, a globe, the difference between a compass and a compass rose, the cardinal directions, and how a map helps us in our everyday lives. I decided to surprise the class with a treat that would "literally" help them remember their cardinal directions. We all actually enjoyed eating slimy worms.
( Never Eat Slimy Worms) North, East, South, West
 |
| Students prepare to eat their slimy worms by first crushing Oreo cookies and then spreading yogurt or pudding on their gummy worms. |
 |
| "Cheers to Slimy Worms" |
 |
| "The best worms I've ever tasted" |
 |
| "Tell me why we can't eat slimy worms again, because they are delicious?" |
Great idea to make the learning experience fun.
ReplyDeleteYes, the students really enjoyed it. I laughed as some students said, "But Ms.Carl, I thought we are not supposed to eat slimy worms." Some of them took the acronym (Never, Eat, Slimy Worms) literally.
