Shouts of "Rose Quartz," "Crystal," "Tiger's Eye," and more could be heard as the fourth graders at BCPS discovered their very own precious stones and minerals today at the Mobile Mine. It was just like when the 49ers discovered gold for the first time, this was a day of firsts. The students learned from Carol Rabb, the "Rockstar," that elements make minerals and minerals make rocks. They learned about the three resources that are mined in Louisiana. They found out about the only rock that floats. They all even went away with a fossil. Back in the classroom, each student classified and identified each and every one of their minerals. The amount of learning that happened today was priceless. It was something these students will be talking about for a long time.
