Today was the appointed day--the silkworm caterpillars were big enough to hold (and are ready to spin/make cocoons).
After the ticklish experience, we wrote on chart paper, and I was so delighted with one of my students observations:
" They feel soft like marshmallows and bubblegum."
(It's observations like these that make a teacher say, "YES!" It was wonderful!)
That, and air-conditioning (that finally works perfectly in my classroom this year) on this hot, hot day made me smile :)
