Anyway, I snapped some pictures of the rocks we made out of clay during one of the lessons and the art we did. I had them paint rocks they brought in for art. They are so cute! Enjoy!

Gotta Love Rocks!
So this week I started teaching about rocks for science and who knew that kids could get so excited over them! I brought in a lot of different kinds of them and let them look at them all on Monday and ever since then I have had 5 or 6 students bring in a bunch to show too. Needless to say, we are having a lot of fun studying about them! I have one little girl that LOVES collecting rocks and she is also one of my struggling students (behavior and reading wise), so she asked me if I had any more rocks at home that she could have. Well, my lovely little brain got working and (this is so bad) I decided to BRIBE her with them! She hardly ever turns in her homework and we have a contract going for her behavior, so I said she could choose a rock only if she turned in her homework on time or got a good report on her contract 2 days in a row. So far it has worked with the contract, but we will see about the homework... don't know if that will ever change...

Way cool!! Love the rocks the kids made and painted. Hope your bribe will work for the little one...it has always worked for me!! Hugs - Auntie Cari
Your kids are too cute! They can now have pet rocks!
You are such a fun teacher. Bribing kids isn't bad. It's smart. Too bad our parents did tell us that ;) This looks like such a good activity.
