At the end of the day before we went outside, we read a story called "If You Find a Rock" By Peggy Christian. In it, she describes all the different types of rocks you can find out in nature.
A sitting rock. A skipping rock. A climbing rock. A writing rock. A kicking rock.
The students had a purpose when they went outside. They were ready to find as many different types of rocks that they could find. They had the most fun using the 'writing rocks' they found.
We also discovered some other interesting materials when we were outside. Bricks, moss and an acorn.
Some students wondered if the bricks were made from rock because they were very heavy and some rocks can be heavy.
