Rock painting


Painting was the activity of choice today. The boys wanted to paint rocks that they brought in from recess. We went back out and looked for more, some cool shapes and sizes. We also found a sandstone...that led to even more inquiry!



X is grinding down a sandstone.
"These rocks are different. This one has sand on it. It rubs off with this rock. It's hard and rough."

It just so happened I have a book about painting rocks.

Some children wanted to draw their designs first before they added paint. Great Planning!!!

There was lots of idea sharing, chit chat and other ways of getting the paint on those rocks. (fingers)

The girls wanted to get into the painting also. These 2 girls did something interesting in these paintings. They showed me their similarities and symmetry. WOW!
