John Gibbon came through the door, loaded with crystals ranging from the very large to the small. The children were excited and ready to see him. For weeks now, we had been looking at rocks and crystals and the books about them.
Before he came, we prepared for his visit; we met as a group. Right away, the children had questions for him and we were impressed by the questions they had. “How do crystals grow?”; “How do they get their colors”; “How does the sand get on the inside of them?”
Each child had a dark felt piece and they arranged the crystals on it. As the crystals traveled from felt to felt, the children used the hand magnifiers to look at them closely. The largest ones elicited “Wows!”. Geodes were very popular.
They were very happy when John offered each of them a big and a little crystal to take home and he left us with some wonderful crystals to add to our collection. Thank you, John!
