Thank you for teaching us about the desert.  I enjoyed learning about the different types of rocks.  I also enjoyed learning about types of animals that live in the desert.  I liked making the clay critters that would protect the fountain.  S

Thank you for coming in. You taught our lessons very well on desert animals, deserts, solar water and rocks, so I learned a lot.  One fact I learned about rocks is that Sedimentary rocks can be made from dead sea creatures.  One fact I learned about desert animals is that many types of snakes live in deserts.  One fact I learned about deserts is that they are dry, windy and can be extremely hot.  Last but not least, one fact I learned about solar water is that it is put in the sun to give it healing powers.  I had a great time learning and having fun with you.  Thank you.  K

...I enjoyed doing the clay critters.  I thought it was really fun molding the clay into different animals and then painting them.  I also learned the Indian symbols.  I thought they were very neat!  I really enjoyed your project!  E
