Rock Collection and Hat Day


Summit Street School has filled the sun band jar again! Tomorrow is Hat Day! 

We spent our science time today closely examining different rocks in our classroom's rock collection! The third graders were so excited to check out all the different rocks. Many of them were using the charts and posters in our room to try and identify the names of the different rocks. They had to draw pictures and describe the characteristics of five rocks. We talked about looking closely at the colors and shades in the rock, not just using grey or brown colored pencils. We also have been practicing describing the rocks using specific characteristics.
