Rocks...and Puppets!

Last week we continued studying about rocks, focusing on sorting them by size and attributes.













 This week our focus was on making and performing with PUPPETS! Kelly Campbell was our artist in residence, generously provided by the PTA! Check out a video at the end of the pictures - the kids did great!
