This afternoon we officially started our Rocks and Minerals unit! Students watched a short video about the Rock Cycle to whet their interest, and discussed where we can find and use rocks in real life. Then students made a table with what they already know and they wonder about rocks. We will go back and add what we have learned to it later in the unit. (We also talked briefly about birthstones - students were very excited to see which mineral belonged to their birth month - ask your student what stone is theirs!)
Quick reminder that Scholastic orders are due by Wednesday, November 16. This is so that I can send them in and receive them before Winter Break!
Have a wonderful evening!
