The many uses of rocks...

Your little geologist has been hard at work learning the many uses of ROCKS! Here's a page from their science journal on the many uses of rocks.


















  (7) Earth and space. The student knows that the natural world includes earth materials. The student is expected to: (C) give examples of ways rocks, soil, and water are useful.


Comparing and Contrasting Rocks

Earlier this week we did a shared writing comparing and contrasting two of our K1 friends rocks. 


Today they got a chance to partner up and do the same thing with a buddy! 











After they used their best geologist brain, they shared their findings with the class! I was so impressed at their observations and attention to detail. 


















Rocking it!
