Mealworm excitement!

Today each child was given a mealworm. We will observe and study the mealworms and learn through this observation about their life cycles. If possible do not teach your child about a mealworm life cycle yet. It would be much more beneficial if your child got to experience and observe it for themselves.  So I am asking you not to give the game away!  I do know that sometimes older siblings or other children share the life cycle.  If this happens I have asked the children who know the life cycle of a mealworm to keep the secret.

The children each received a mealworm today.  About 1/3 of the children were brave enough to hold them. There was so much excitement about them. We have learned how to look after an animal, how to care, what it needs, and to be careful.
