| A friend we met on the road gave us a rock he found in Alaska that had been cut by a glacier. We could see the lines on it, just like it was described in Kovac's book. |
The Tucson Rock and Gem Show is the biggest show in North America! We went to spend some time there and could see first-hand so many of the things we discussed for the last two weeks.
We are about to start our Geology/Mineralogy block on Monday. I didn't think I would find this subject interesting (I covered it in high school and it was so dry and boring...), Kovacs has done a great job with his books making my life easier!! The Tucson rocks and gems show looks great. I love it when life and homeschooling come together like that. We're so lucky to be able to learn this way, out in the real world!

Yes, Kovacs' book is great! The girls LOVED it and wished the block would have been longer.
