Playing in the sand pit!

Playing in the sand pit!
Today, our class delved into an exciting hands-on exploration of rocks and sand. The students were not only deeply engaged but also showed a genuine sense of curiosity as they observed, touched, and compared different types of rocks and textures of sand. Through guided activities and open-ended discovery, they made thoughtful observations, asked insightful questions, and even shared their own experiences and theories. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow as they interacted with the materials and with each other. This hands-on learning experience not only supported our science goals but also encouraged collaboration, communication, and critical thinking in a fun and meaningful way.
