Rocking Out in Kindergarten!


Today we began a science unit investigating rocks and their various properties. We started by reading a wonderful book called Everybody Needs a Rock.

We then went out to do some rock hunting of our own! In our very own H.C.S. backyard, we found some amazing rocks and everyone had a great time searching for "their" perfect rock.

Rock Hunters At Work!
 
Big, small, smooth, bumpy...we found all kinds of rock!

We sorted the rocks by size. 
We brought our many rocks into our classroom to observe and explore with throughout the week. We love being scientists!
