Kill Two Birds With One Stone

In the ERS Nature/Science are you are asked to have 3-5 "collections" of natural objects.  (5.1)   You are also asked in 3.3 if children are encouraged to bring in natural things to share or add to collections. 

Ask the children to bring rocks, shells, leaves, seed pods, pinecones, etc. to create collections for your classroom and you can meet both of these science/nature items.
