Budding Geologists

We had our in-school field trip yesterday! The company "High Tech, High Touch" came to Dryden yesterday and visited each of the 2nd grade rooms. The geologist, Miss Tabitha, who visited our class talked to us about igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. She helped us look carefully at rocks with a magnifying glass. We thought about properties that described the rocks, and we looked for similarities and differences between them. The children especially enjoyed searching for gemstones in a tub full of sand and water. Again the children were eager to identify and describe each one that they discovered! The children greatly enjoyed this hands on learning experience! Thank you so much for supporting such a fun and memorable activity for our students!
