Geology Rocks! 2nd Graders Explore Minerals!

The 2nd graders dove into geology with a trip to Taos Gems and Minerals and cracking open geodes!   Pam of Taos Gems and Minerals welcomed our class with a tour of her beautiful store.  She had the kids explore the amazing array of rocks and crystals and find one that they loved.  She challenged them to remember its shape and color to draw later.  At the end of our visit she gave everyone a special mineral to keep.
