Rock On!

Today was all about Rocks. We started by sorting through our collection of treasured rocks, gifted and discovered. We were sorting with the purpose of choosing two favorites to bring with us to the Kid's Rock and Mineral Club friends reminded us was happening today. It was our first time attending, although its been on our calendar many times. I spent most of the time running around after Shai. From what I gathered there was a talk which explained how rocks and minerals are identified. The second half was to apply what they learned, moving through stations to identify what types of rocks and minerals there were and what type of rocks the kids brought. Elias was thrilled to learn that his mystery rock was volcanic rock.

The theme of rock; well, rockin' continued at home. The kids had a blast doing air bands for a long time to lots of their favorite songs; Ben on drums, Elias on guitar, Aria lead vocals and Shai was the dancer! They even did a video with the video camera (which I think has sparked lots of new interest!). It was lots of fun!
