Pet Rocks

As we learned about rocks, each child was asked to bring a rock at least the size of their fist to class. 

We used them to make Pet Rocks.

We read the poem, "A Rock Makes an Excellent Puppy" and then the children were given lots of collage materials to use to create their rock.

We placed the materials on a separate table so they could go and get what they needed and then we used popsicle sticks and tacky glue for their pieces.  The tacky glue is a must.  Their materials stayed on so well.

When they were finished, we took a close up picture of each one of them and their pet rock.
