    First graders in Mrs. Steever's and Mrs. Ratzlaff's classes can be seen on the playground or in the classroom carrying small bundles around.  Yes, the gravel babies are back.  Some of the gravel babies are dressed up in baby clothes or wrapped in blankets.  Some of the gravel babies are taken for a walk at recess, while others ride in strollers.  In the classroom, first graders can be seen reading a story to their gravel babies or practicing spelling words together.

    The gravel babies were made during our autobiography unit.The "babies" were made to match each child's birth weight
