First Grade is so excited about the first day of Spring! Not only is Recess much more enjoyable when the weather is nice, Spring is the best time for nature!
We started learning about physical properties of rocks and the rock cycle. Did you know that rocks can break down into tiny pieces of dust? We then begin looking at the physical properties of soil. We quickly realized there are several different types of soil, all found in NC, but only certain ones are best for growing plants.
The best way to truly understand the properties of soil and rocks is to dig in - and that's exactly what we've been doing!
