Today we had our first ECO. We walked to Sabin's Pasture and learned about how different rock properties are valuable for making various tools out of rocks.
We also conducted a science experiment today to explore how abrasion contributes to the weathering of rocks.
We have a giant map of Vermont at our school this week, and I mean GIANT! The map covers an entire classroom floor, and is made of sturdy material that allows us to walk on it in our socks. We rented the map from Vermont Geographic Alliance (http://www.vtgeoalliance.org/giant-traveling-map-of-vermont.html). Today we walked the perimeter of the map, noticed what borders VT, studied the compass rose, and learned about some features found in a map legend. We will use the map again throughout the week for math and social studies activities.
