Rock Stars!

We had an awesome rock presentation given by Mr. Baima. He is Mrs. Baima’s husband and he is a rock hound! Mr. Baima educated us on the different types of rocks found in this area. He also told us stories about the Empress of China and how she only wanted pink tourmaline. Mr. Baima shared with us a magnetic stick that picked up a meteorite, and showed us what to wear while mining for gems. You should always protect your head by wearing a safety helmet and  always wear heavy gloves to protect your hands from getting cut or bit. (Yes, bit…) Whew, there is a lot to being a miner. We were great listeners so, Mr. Baima declared us,  Rock Hounds! He even gave us a gem in a bag to take home. Mr. Baima and Mrs. Baima ROCK!

What was your favorite part of the presentation?
