Okay, we made the rocks, in class. We kneaded the soil, added water, and pressed the dough into a paper bowl. If they had too much water, the munchkins were instructed to sprinkle some sand, on top, to absorb the excess water.
It was kinda cool to hear kids say things like, sift the sand and knead the dough. If you wonder why we offer Family and Consumer Science (i.e.: Home Ec), there you have the reason. The life lessons taught by Mrs. Beard really do pay-off.
Since today's lesson was rockin', I played some tunes that featured the word rock. Elton John's "Crocodile Rock," and Elvis Presley singing, "Jailhouse Rock." Joan Jett and the Blackhearts', "I Love Rock-n-Roll" was equated to "Hey! That's on Guitar Hero III!!" -- Oiy, I'm gettin' old.
Have a great weekend.
