Kids love rocks! And I love that we study about the uses of rocks and soil in 1st grade! I’ve asked the students to find and bring in two rocks by Monday, October 5. The first rock can be interesting and unique because it will be used to sort by observable properties (size, color, texture etc.) and to practice counting by 10′s by making groups of ten rocks. The second rock will be used in an art project to make pet rocks, so it should be somewhat smooth and big enough to glue and paint on, but not so big that it’s too heavy in a backpack (no bigger than the size of a slice of bread). They will probably get attached to their rocks, so please write your name on both rocks. 🙂 Thank you!
