We spent the morning with 2 new classes who were very interested in what was going on with the webcam, and had plenty of questions for CP in the chat.
It was a blast! Here is a picture of some of the finished cabochons we made today on cam. The big one to the right even looks a little like the Grand Canyon. Thanks to Mr.Moton and Miss.Epps for allowing their student to participate, and Mr.Davis for helping them set it up. Take care and have a great weekend.

You are very welcome Tim and thank you all. We had a great time working with the classes in the science labs.
This has been and will continue to be a very unique teaching resource. We are looking forward to working with many more class groups in the future. Quinten Good is also enthused about the educational possibilites opening up here and saw fit to re-donate the two specimen lots left from the previous years specimen auction in September to this resource. We will be sending one piece to each of the 3 class teachers for their in class teaching purposes. Future classes we work with will also get one of these fine specimens as well. When these are gone, we have already been told there will be more as needed. Thank you Quinten, (owner Dreamtime Mine), for the donations. Special thanks to Mr.Davis for helping out on the eastern end to get computers set up and so on. YOU DA' MAN! CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

You are all very welcome. THANK YOU!
Glad the specimens for the classes arrived as well. Hopefully many classes in the future learn from and enjoy them as future prospectors. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

We are glad to be working with the STMS 8th grade classes again this year for interactive online lab classes.
This year again Mr. Davis has coordinated things for the schools end and they have even more computers to use this year per group. The cabochon necklaces this year are made from our personal dino bone stash and are a very gemmy grade and color. All cabochons cut, cabbed and wrapped in sterling silver by us here at the CP lapidary shop. 3 classes will each get one and the 4th is for Mr. Davis......Thank you Mr. Davis. Dinosaur bone being a fossil, these pieces will hopefully fit in the classes current studies well, and possibly light a spark or two in some young minds about our planet and it's geology that lasts.

Jim funny.
Thanks Tim and we also sent 6 specimens for the school/class collection and one of our new kits with dino bone, amazonite and smokey quartz samples for all the youngsters. We are looking forward to the lab classes again. Hopefully the packages arrive in time for them to be used in the labs too. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

This years groups were awesome to work with!
They ask fantastic question, and seem to show more interest for rocks by the time they leave. It was great working with them online. Were looking forward to the next time.
