My Project

This year's group of students love shiny rocks and precious jewels! All I have to do is hide some plastic stones in a sandbox and they will spend the whole Center Time uncovering them!

This project will allow them to become excavators and experts on our beautiful planet!

They will be able to each have their own precious gem to mine and then learn about how that gem is made and where on the planet it can be found.

We are spending the spring learning about Earth and her mysteries, and this project is perfect for that!
