Our Garden Looks Amazing!

Thank you to all the families that took care of our garden throughout the summer!  It looks fabulous.  So much produce for the school lunches!  This garden couldn't happen without your help.  Thank you!

So many cherry tomatoes!

Rocks, Minerals, Fossils and Geodes!

What a fabulous surprise!  Orla (1-114) and Keavy's (4-333) mom, Julie, went on a trip to the Arches National Park (https://www.nps.gov/arch/index.htm) in Utah and brought back quite a collection of rocks, minerals and fossils for the science classroom! The rocks all came from Moab's Rock Shop  http://www.moabrockshop.com/.  

A beautiful sampling of rocks!

There is even petrified wood at the bottom of the photo.

Megalodon Shark Teeth!

Dinosaur bone fossils!

 Then, a few weeks later, what should arrive? A box of geodes: Moroccan snowballs, Mexican and Utah dugway.

So many geodes!

It was very hard to break open the geode on our tiled floor!  The next class we are trying to break it outside!

The inside of one of the geodes!

 Thank you so much Julie for this amazing addition to our science program!
