Pictures of 'G' Geode, One of the See abc's® Clues

Okay, so everyone wants to see my cool geode when they get to the "copycat" letters in the blending book, "ABC's See How to Chop and Blend." Geode is the picture clue for when 'G' copies the sound of 'J' as in the words: gym, gem, gerbil, George, and Geode, to name a few. Geode is the hardest picture clue to learn in the program. Geodes are really cool rocks that have crystals in them. A long time ago, but shortly after writing my blending book, I went to a little shop in Park City, Utah. It's a fun town with an old west feel to a section of town. Anyway, I found this really awesome geode that looked just like a letter 'G.' (Geode is the clue for the upper case 'G')

So, of course, I had to have it!























I am posting a couple of pictures of it here so that you can show your children what an actual geode looks like and have them see if they can find the hidden upper case 'G' in the rock. It is easier to see the 'G' in the picture on the grass. But, the picture on the sidewalk is really neat because it looks like it is just part of the sidewalk! Like there is just a little hole in the cement with crystals in it! It just blends right in.
