There is only so much I can do to make the rock cycle exciting. This year we decided that we'd like to have the kids smash open some geodes and look at crystals up close. A few weeks ago, as we were concluding our unit and talking about crystals, I took the whole class outside in the cold air with a bag of geodes and a few hammers. \r\n\r\nThe kids loved it. They were smashing rocks all over the pavement. Pieces of crystal would shoot across the ground and kids would dive to get them. Once we got back inside everyone was comparing crystals and checking out their new finds. It was a great way to end the unit.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generous donations that made this possible. The students really loved it.","fullyFundedDate":1758288237196,"projectUrl":"project/rockin-the-rock-cycle/9651796/","projectTitle":"Rockin' The Rock Cycle","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Morandi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5545786_orig.jpg?crop=1060,1060,x905,y1166&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687373947242","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5545786"},{"teacherId":5545786,"projectId":9253442,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations. In my class I hand out fake currency to get students participating in class. I might hand them out for good insights, reading aloud, helping with classroom chores, etc. The students love getting them. I allow them to spend them on a few different things in class. They can buy from my prize box, rent my chair, eat lunch in my classroom, or make slime.\r\n\r\nBy far, making slime is the most popular option. Student come to my classroom at the end of a study hall period. I take them in groups of 8 and provide all the materials for them to make slime in a variety of colors with foam beads, charms and glitter. This donation will keep my inventory of slime supplies full for at least a year or two. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your donations and thank you to Donors Choose for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1744647482420,"projectUrl":"project/slime-time/9253442/","projectTitle":"Slime Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Morandi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5545786_orig.jpg?crop=1060,1060,x905,y1166&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687373947242","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5545786"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91395","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":552,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.2,"schoolId":91395,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Archie R Cole Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Archie R Cole Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/east-greenwich-public-school-district/archie-r-cole-junior-high-school/91395"}
