All About Erosion!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of having Laura Howard and Doug Stewart visit our classroom to teach us about this month's Four Winds topic of Erosion. We had so much fun watching a puppet show to learn what causes erosion and then did a couple of experiments and a demonstration using our bodies. Take a look at these pictures!

We went from a boulder....

...to pebbles!
