It began last night on a walk with daddy. The girls gathered some rocks at the river. First thing this morning they began asking to paint their rocks. I told them that they had to wait until D (19 months) took his nap.

But in the meantime, after our morning work, I got on goo.gle. I searched for some activities/information on rocks and found this. I didn't have any intention on doing every aspect of this activity, but I quickly printed a few pages..jpg)
Before the painting would commence in the afternoon, we did some study of our rocks. The girls filled out a chart describing them and had a great time looking at them up close with our magnifying glasses!When D naps, we'll get to paint them...but here's to our first rabbit trail and many more to come!

Awesome, Mary. And I love painting rocks with Just Son.
First let me just say I LOVE rabbit trails! We are currently on one about Yorkshire; we recently went on one about chemical changes... fun fun fun ...one of the reasons we homeschool, right?
Second, woo hoo on your online-lesson-plan find. I do that all the time. Just got to remember to bookmark the good sites.
Third, cool rocks, girls! Post some pics when they're all painted!
Another plus for homeschooling!
