Diary of a Worm
Written by Doreen Cronin
Illustrated by Harry Bliss
Our story starts on March 20th. The worm writes about his day and all the fun things he does. He might dig in the dirt, play with his friends, or learn something new. Worms are amazing creatures, and they have a very important job in nature. They help make the soil healthy so plants can grow big and strong!
Did you know that worms don’t have eyes? They can’t see like we do, but they can feel light and vibrations in the ground. Worms also breathe through their skin, which is why they need to stay moist. They are very helpful to farmers and gardeners because they turn the soil and help plants get the nutrients they need.
As we continue reading the diary, we’ll learn more about the worm’s adventures and the funny things that happen to him. He might meet new friends or face challenges, but he always finds a way to have fun and learn something new.
Reading “Diary of a Worm” is like going on an adventure with a tiny friend. You get to see the world from a worm’s point of view and discover how even the smallest creatures can have big adventures. So, let’s dive into the pages and see what happens next!
Happy reading, and remember, every day can be an adventure if you look at it with curiosity and joy!
Worm Observation Journal: Just like the worm in the story, you can keep a journal of your own! Spend some time outside and observe the worms in your garden or park. Write down what you see. How do they move? What do they do? Draw pictures of their activities. This will help you understand their world better and see how they help the soil.
Create a Worm Habitat: With the help of an adult, create a small worm habitat using a clear container, soil, and some leaves. Add a few worms and watch how they dig and move through the soil. Remember to keep the soil moist and observe how the worms help mix the soil. Write down your observations in your journal.
Worm Role Play: Imagine you are a worm for a day! What would you do? Where would you go? Write a short diary entry as if you were a worm. Think about what adventures you might have and what challenges you could face. Share your diary entry with your friends or family and see what they would do if they were worms too!
