Lately, she has been really into collecting rocks. We pick them up everywhere. Heck, we have even pulled the car over to score a good rock or two!
So, to make a long story short...I bought this book to help with all the questions about the different types of rocks, and, well, just to make a Teachable Moment out of our basket of rocks! This momma might know a lot about literacy and mathematics, but put a rock in front of me, and, well, it's just a rock!
We are planning to go on some really big rock hunt road trips to find even prettier rocks and then learning a thing or two together while matching our rocks to rocks in the book.
It should be a great Teachable Moments' Adventure for the whole family!
We are also enjoying a little hopping with...
My girls definitely do this, especially my youngest! We call her the "collector" anything she deems pretty, interesting or just feels like picking it up - makes it's way home!

Great idea to grab the book. My 16 month-old can't walk anywhere without picking up whatever she finds, LOL. At least she knows to leave them outside... they will 'wait' there fore her.
