Our 4th graders DUG in to their first Hooper class of the year with a lesson on soil! 🪨🪏

We got our hands in the dirt exploring what soil is made of and what processes and factors help to create our soil. They even finished with a soil scientist bookmark showing the different layers or horizons in soil!
