The twins are learning about farming & every child was assigned a topic. We lucked out and got the extremely interesting topics of Crop Dusting & Worm Farming! This is one aspect of twin mommying that isn't that fun - I get to do 2 reports. I brought in a surgical mask as a visual aid for crop dusting and Ari emphasized how poisonous the chemicals are.
Mr. T was totally stoked about bringing in real earthworms. (Thank you Walmart for providing year round earthworms.) He was in all his glory holding them and showing them around. He also baked some worms in his 'Bug Maker', think Easy Bake Oven for gross looking bugs. Of course, then his teacher decided to keep the worms and extra day and that did not go over well for Mr. T. He was angry, sad, distraught and about as emotional as a 6 yr old can manage. She let him bring them home Friday and he literally spent 4 hours playing with them. Poor little disgusting, but oh so helpful, creatures. They now reside happily a foot under our compost pile.
I do wish we would have been assigned "Where does Chocolate come from?" (the report between their reports)
