A quick apology - I usually update the class blog more often, but, given that I am in my masters program, the time has become more limited! I will try to update as often as possible so that you can see into our classroom a little more often ;)
Here are some fun updates of what we have been doing and learning about in our class.... I think you will agree that we are enjoying our learning!
First, we had a little fun with our "pet rocks"... after learning about the 3 types of rocks (ask your kids, they should be able to tell you all about how they are created!), they got to make a new friend :)
Kennedy & Jocelynn's pets
Jaxon and Dalyn have some new buddies!
Clarke & Devyn made some new friends, too!
Look at those smiles!
We love our new friends!
So cool, our new pets!
Sarah & Hailey are all smiles with their bFFs
Hurray for our rocks!
NEXT: Kids had a ton of fun during soil learning about the 3 types in the soil profile, as well as what lives in the soil. We got to examine our own samples, then used our magnifying glasses to examine each student's sample. We had SO many gross yet fun things in there! And, the kiddos learned that not all soil is the same, and that decaying matter lends to the soil color!
