Children use their love of rocks to sort them by a named characteristic on the Livescribe Smartpen’s sound dot:• Find the rock that has an “x”
on it• Find the rock that is rhombus
shaped• Find a fossil rock• Find 2 rocks that have lines• Find a light rock• Find a rock with crystals• Find a rock that looks like a
mountain with trees• Find 3 green rocks and order
them from largest to smallest
