Soil and rocks, what fun!

Who knew rocks and soil could be so interesting?  Now we do!  The students really enjoyed exploring and observing the characteristics of rocks and soil.  We even sang a fun song called "Dirt You Made My Lunch" that taught us how dirt provides the nutrients for fruits, veggies and grains to grow.  The students could not believe it when I told them I was going to make them eat dirt with rocks and worms in it, but once they discovered the ingredients to make the dirt were really pudding, Oreos, gummy worms and Whoppers they were very excited.
