My KWL report

I have chosen this report because My group and I found a earth worm and chose to write a report on it to explain the different facts about them.I enjoyed taking care of the earth worm and observing for different facts about them.What I found challenging is when we had to pick up the worm and it was wriggly and started to tickle my hand.But I over came it by letting move around from one hand to the other.I had thought that looking for facts about segments were challenging but I could set as a goal and I achieved it.
