A Teacher's Review of the 2009 Oxnard Gem & Mineral Show

 

I want to thank you and all the volunteers who worked so tirelessly to put on that fabulous Rock and Mineral Show!!  Will you please forward this to your officers and place it on the website  somehow for me?

Thanks again and again,

 

Karen V.

 

 

Thank you all for such a wonderful experience at your annual Rock and Mineral Show!!

 

As a teacher who is planning a rock and mineral unit  for fourth grade students, I found a virtual treasure trove of information, helpful people, activities that I can use in my classroom and invaluable resources! 

 

I came away from the day with rock samples that now fill my room. My students can touch and explore now, sharpening their skills at noticing rock and mineral characteristics.  Now when I teach about luster or the Mohr's Scale, they run to find examples that illustrate what we are talking about!

 

I can't wait to check out the rock box from the library to further my students knowledge of rocks and minerals. 

 

I learned a ton, met wonderful people, and came away from the day with my questions answered and my enthusiasm for the subject enhanced by the experience.

 

Thanks a million for all you do, for both teachers and students alike!! You're the best!!!!
