Our Field Trip To The Quarry

Today we went on a field trip to a Quarry. It was really cool because we got to see lots of rocks and some people found fossils. After the Quarry we went to a park and had lunch. At the park we also played a little and some of the boys played football too.

Days of school left:13

2nd- putting it on the chair 3rd - sitting on the chair and the sandwich

4th - moving around
5th - the final "rock"
We then traveled outside to create concrete
Stirring.....
Our final product will be able to be seen at Grandparent's Day

Celebrate!

This morning we celebrated the success our class had with the food drive. I was very proud of how hard the class worked to bring in a generous amount of food. The school gathered enough food to fill the entire food pantry! We celebrated with dilly bars from Dairy Queen this morning!
