Curiosity is shining bright in Mrs. Canada’s 2nd grade classroom at Coleman Elementary! 💎
After several students shared their interest in crystals, including a few proud “crystal collectors,” Mr. Lane visited the class to share pieces from his personal collection. As a world traveler, he explained where he discovered each crystal and shared fascinating facts about its unique features with students.
Students were especially amazed to learn about the Cave of Crystals, home to a selenite crystal as large as a school bus. They had a blast exploring, asking questions, and carefully holding the crystals as they deepened their learning! ✨
