Field Trip to Lannon Stone Quarry

The first grade classes had the opportunity to visit Lannon Stone Quarry today.  Our tour guide was amazing.  We talked about the properties of rocks, various machinery that is used to dig, crush, and move the rocks, as well as discussed sand, silt, and pebbles.  The tour guide also connected the information about rocks to our real world uses.  The children were then able to choose a rock from the quarry to take home.  This afternoon, we had the opportunity to write in our Science Journal about our field trip and of course our special rocks. Be on the lookout for your child's rock to come home today.
