Our second-grade students wrapped up their exciting EL Module 2 on fossils with a creative bang! They kicked things off by writing captivating narratives about the thrilling discovery of a fossil. But the adventure didn’t stop there—our young paleontologists then got to dig into their very own fossil hunt! Among their amazing finds were a Sand Tiger tooth, vibrant Pink Gastropods, sharp Corax Shark teeth, and even a bivalve. These budding scientists truly brought history to life in the most hands-on and imaginative way!
