Rocks & Minerals

Hi Parents,



I hope you all enjoyed a great Christmas vacation and enjoyed having some time with your kids. I am enjoying having them back. We've had a great week thus far! One of the new topics that we're starting new this week is in Science. Its our Rocks & Minerals Unit. Students seem very excited about it and thus far we've enjoyed some neat videos, computer searches and even some investigation of rock kits. Going forward we will have some fun labs, and other Science Inquiry sessions to learn more about Geology, and the Rock Cycle. In order to allow your children to investigate some neat things while at home, I'm attaching some fun links with some videos, games and other resources. Enjoy!
