    Rock Show

    Well, I am excited.  Tomorrow is my annual rock show at the elementary school.  As usual I have a huge selection of rocks to take with me and so much information that my head is spinning.  LOL.  It all started about three years ago.  I am a volunteer in the Ohio Reads program and that year, when I finished helping the child I was working with and took him back to class, they were in the middle of a science project with rocks.  I started talking and answering questions and the teacher invited me back to do a 15 minute presentation the next week.  I've been doing it ever since. I now do all four third grades and we have a blast.  This year, I am taking over the whole library for two hours.  I love to watch the faces on the little kids as they pick up all the strange rocks I bring and I love to answer their questions.  They are so enthusiastic and happy to learn it makes me feel good.  Who knows what future rock hounds I might inspire?   Well, enough about rocks and stones........I need to get to bed early so I can be there early.
