Sometimes rocks can be a little intimidating. They're hard, dirty, and they could easily hurt someone if thrown. But when we look beyond those minor bumps, we see a world of opportunity for learning and creating. We can dig them up, paint them, create shapes and symbols, and the students can dream up all sorts of games to play using just rocks! Some rocks can go home with the children, others will stay for the entire school to enjoy. Rocks are fun, stay tuned to all of our fun rock updates!
Here we have a rock wash. The children are using sponges and strainers to filter out the rocks and clean them up for our activities to come.
Painting rocks for the playground is an activity everyone enjoys. What's even more exciting is finding that rock you painted under a pile of wood chips!
Pick up rocks, similar to pick-up-sticks, without disturbing any rock other than the one you choose! This keeps everyone involved, watching to see if the pile moves or not. Some kept count the entire time while others immediately started creating designs with their rocks.
Pearl made a key!
"S" is for Sammy.
Brother and sister made a smiley face :)
Our rock train is TEN students long!
