Field Trip!

On Thursday, we took our first field trip to the Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals. We recently began our science unit on Pebbles, Sand and Silt so this was the perfect trip to get the students excited about what we are learning in the classroom. The kids did a great job on the trip and had a fantastic time! Thank you to all the chaperones who were able to come on the trip with us!

Starting off our tour in the Petrified Forest Room.

Oohing and aahing over the crystals in the main gallery.

Elsa and the crystal display.

Our guide, Benita, tells us about the gold at the museum.

Learning from Benita in the Mineral room.

Finally....lunch!

Our last stop...picking out our own rock to take home.

So many to choose from!

Snoozing on the way home...the best way to end a fun filled day!
