Friday Fun: Fabulous Fossils

Classes are done! No homework is due until Monday! It's time for Friday Fun! Pearl Avenue will present a series of crafts, games, or fun activities each Friday afternoon, starting at 4 p.m. It will be a great way to start off your weekend!"Fabulous Fossils" is an engaging workshop about fossil identification and how fossils are formed, and is presented by Science Smart Kids teacher, Ildiko Stennis. Children (age 5 to 12) will observe real fossil samples of some of the following specimens: ammonites, brachiopods, clam, coral, crinoid stem, diatomite, dinosaur bone, petrified wood, shark teeth and trilobite. Children will use photographs and an identification key to learn about these ancient creatures. In addition to the hands-on science activities, children’s books and crafts will be incorporated in the workshop in order to enhance the understanding of the science concepts. Each child will make a sample of a trace fossil to take home. (Estimated time: 45-60 minutes). Please join us every Friday, for something new!  Crafts, Board games, Bingo - lots of fun for everyone! ALL supplies are provided! This program is generously sponsored by the Pearl Avenue Friends of the Library Free. No registration required. ADA Accommodation Requests
