How To Eat Fried Worms - 4th Grade


The fourth grade team at Sacajawea recently finished reading How To Eat Fried Worms, a well-known novel by Thomas Rockwell. As a culmination, they analyzed the similarities and different editorial choices in the more recent movie by the same name.  Some of their teachers also put on a little show with a eating exhibition with "gross" foods.

You can see we sometimes had a hard time holding it together.  Some of us did a nice job adding a little extra drama of our own.

Edible "delights" included dog food (really), kale smoothies, Snickers candy served from a baby diaper, a protein mix that looked a lot like muddy water, and pickled pigs feet.  It was unanimous, that the pickled pigs feet was the worst of the bunch.  

All of us finished up with "dirt" and "worms."  This dessert was a nice treat.

Down goes the dogfood

Really pretty bad

"Muddy Water" anyone?

A little drama

Watching the students was well worth a queezy stomach


A green smoothy


A "Value Pack" of Pigs Feet - We didn't find that much value.


"Dirt" and "Worms"



Slirpping up the last worm.  Maybe our next unit will be on etiquette.
