Can you feel it? Spring is near! Extra sunlight, warmer weather, and flowers blooming are a welcome reminder that Spring is right around the corner. As educators, it is an ideal time to expand on the teaching moments around us. Your kids are likely noticing flowers are budding, the weather is getting warmer, new baby animals are around, and the day is lighter after dinnertime. By tapping into the world around us and the changing seasons, we are able to learn about the need for transition. Every season of our lives may unfold naturally, when we allow it the time to do so.
The rocks and minerals that form within the Earth are used to make many important materials. Witness how rocks are mined, processed, and then constructed into glass, cement, bricks, houses, roads, and other objects used in our everyday lives.
