In Mrs. Klein's 5th grade ELA class, students read the story "The Badlands Sleuth: The Case of the Missing Fossils," which integrated mystery with science! Since they learned about fossils and chemical changes, Mrs. Klein decided to complete a wrap-up activity on excavating. McLean B. was able to excavate the most "artifacts" at a whopping 39 chocolate chip "fossils." Once they excavated the artifacts, they watched a video, read a story about Sue, the T-Rex at the Field Museum, and did a directed drawing of a dinosaur skeleton. Finally, they enjoyed a cookie treat too! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BvhjkC4uk/ #TerrierPride #LeadChallengeAchieve
