Geology
In this unit, students explore the dynamic nature of Earth, including the layers of our planet: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust.
As they explore the ever-changing earth and the processes that drive change, students see the effect of continental drift and how actions in the mantle cause major changes in Earth’s crust. Mountains may be formed when large parts of Earth’s crust push against each other.
In addition, students explore other surface-transforming processes, including weathering, erosion, and other changes to the earth over time. Also, by studying rocks, rock layers, and fossils, geologists find even more evidence that the structure of Earth’s surface has changed over time.
Some natural geological events that change Earth’s surface—such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and mudslides—can be hazardous to people. Understanding the large-scale processes behind these events can help people engineer safeguards, such as earthquake-resistant buildings, that consider potential damage and danger.

Meet Mrs. Telarico
Welcome to 4th Grade Room 219! My name is Joni Telarico and I will be your student's teacher for the 2025 -2026 school year! This is my second year teaching fourth grade and my twentieth year teaching. This is my tenth year of teaching at Aspen View Academy.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my family has lived here in Castle Rock for the past ten years. I have been married to my husband Mike for 31 years and I have two sons. Matt is 23 and works in Pittsburgh as an engineer, and Cameron is 21 and a senior in college in Utah.
We love living in Colorado and enjoy being outside. Hiking, biking, exercising, and spending time with my family are some of my favorite activities to do! I am looking forward to a great year working with you and your student!!!
