Rocks, Soil, And Fossils Family Newsletter Template

A Family Newsletter

Greetings, Family!

The next time your child tracks dirt into your home, consider this:

It is all that remains of giant boulders, worn down over thousands

of years. In our next unit, “Rocks, Soil, and Fossils,” our science class

will be studying the materials that make up Earth’s surface. We will

explore what rocks are made of and learn how soil forms. We will

grow seeds in different types of soil and observe one of soil’s most

visible inhabitants, the earthworm. Students will also examine fossils.

You can make science come alive for your child in and around your

home. What types of rocks can be found outside your home? What is

the soil like? What kinds of plants grow there?

Can you donate any of the items listed below? If so, please send in

2-liter plastic soda bottles

food items: fruit, gummy

worms, homemade

clean, empty yogurt cups

cookies (date and food

with lids

to be arranged)

packages of dry gelatin

soil samples from home

Finally, we could use your help. Do you have any particular interest

in this topic? Would you be able to help in class with the activities? If

so, please ﬁll out and return the form below.

Thank you very much for your help!
