Rocks from Utah!

Last week class 2-227 had a visitor during science class!  Julie Fry, Orla's mom, came and talked to the class about her trip to Arches National Park in Utah.  The park has more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches that have been made over time by rain!

Julie found some amazing rocks at Moab's Rock Shop and has kindly donated them to PS58's growing rock collection!  

Everyone liked the polished, colorful rocks!

The fossils were amazing!

And then we saw the geodes!

Everyone had their goggles on!

Orla cracked the Utah geode after a few good smashes with
the hammer!

Thank you so much for coming in Julie and sharing your experience at and photos of Arches National Park and the rocks you got at Moab's Rock Shop!
