Cicily's teacher does some very engaging science units for her class. In the winter they did mealworms that they got to feed and watch progress through their life-cycle. At the end of the unit, the class had mealworms left over and nothing to do with them. So, Mrs. Ruiz asked if Cicily would like to bring them home and feed them to the chickens. Cis was ecstatic about the idea. Feeding her chickens is a very favorite pastime. So Cicily carefully brought the mealworms and beetles home and gleefully fed them to her chickens. She understands the circle of life quite well!
Maya on the other hand, was very sad about the mealworms' fate. We had a chat about the measure of living things' creations. It made some sense to her, but she still didn't want to be outside when Cis dumped the mealworms into the chicken coop.
