Rocks and Rolls

Visiting with Mrs. Paolini is the best part of our Wednesday.  Every week.  Your student should be bringing new books home every week to read with you.  Read 20/10 everyday and then returning them to school on Tuesdays to get new books.  We have lots of great titles in our library and I am more than happy to help find new things to read.

Magic School Bus is always a student favorite!  We looked at Rocks and Rolls today and then tested our rocks for hardness.  Some rocks were very soft and could be scratched by a mere fingernail, other rocks were soft and could be scratched by a penny.  If a metal nail scratched our rock it was considered medium and a glass scratch makes our rock hard.  Tomorrow we will do a vinegar test for the presence of sea creatures that died long ago!  Science test - Rocks and Minerals will happen Friday morning.
