Rock and Roll
Each child will need to bring in a collection of twelve rocks in an egg container. Try to find rocks that are different shapes and colors. They should have at least one rock from a beach and one rock from near a river or pond. Please put their initials on your rock with a piece of tape. Please label where they find their rock (i.e. forest, grassland, backyard, beach, etc.). If you know what kind of rock it is, label that as well.
We will be looking at the rocks in the class. We will try to identify them. We will look at the effects of water on the rocks. So have fun rock hunting and bring your child's 12 favorites to school by May 12th!
We had a great day sharing our dinosaur reports with the school. We had classes in all morning and the class was very excited to share their knowledge.
We are finishing up our dinosaur unit this week. On Thursday, April 17th, we will be sharing our reports and fossils with other classrooms. Any parent is welcome to join us from about 8:30 to 11:00 when we will informally share our reports! We would love to see you !
We are finishing up our learning about dinosaurs in the class but when we went to the Boston Museum of Science, the students really showed how much they learned. Next week we will finish with the sharing of our reports. It was a great culminating experience for students to cement all that learning :) Special thanks to the many chaperones that kept the experience for all students so wonderful.
