Today outside we began our work on creating an excavation site. A few weeks ago our interest in paleontology blossomed as we experimented with the process of discovering clues about life from the past. It was a
very simple provocation that drew quite a crowd over the course of the
morning. We will be continuing work on this through out the week and
then allowing it to dry over our summer break.

| Thick red clay waiting for things to be embedded: flattened marbles and dinosaurs. |
 |
| Pushing in jewels. "You cover them up so they can't be seen!" IR |
 |
| "Lookit This one!" SC |
 |
| The dinosaurs are making their marks. |
 |
| "Look! I broke off a piece!" SW |
 |
| Water was added. |
 |
| "It's getting all slimy. Just feel it like this!" IR |
 |
| Rinsing off hands once we are finished. |
 |
| "Maybe this is how dinosaurs died. Their feet got all stuck up in the muck and they couldn't get out." IR |
