Today we talked about, and read a book about the earth. It was full of great facts which were presented in such a fun a kid friendly way. Ask your student what interesting facts they can remember. I told the kids that I have a model of the moon with a light inside that goes through the phases of the moon but,…. they need to be here tomorrow to see it LOL!They are SO EXCITED to see it tomorrow. I hope the moon model gives them a little heads up as to what they can expect to see as they follow the phases of the moon for then nest 3 weeks.
I will be sending home their moon journal (paper) this Friday. I’ll put it in your student’s homework green homework folder. PLEASE START RECORDING THIS FRIDAY. This 3 week project will give your student the opportunity to observe and record the phases of the moon. If there is a day(s) that they can’t see the moon, because it too cloudy, you can look at it via a link on our blog (bottom right side under the Math/Science links). It’s says 2016 but it’s not and when you go to the web page you can key in 2018. It will have a picture of what it looks now where you are living… It also has a ton of other interesting facts you can discuss with your student. FYI, the next full moon is supposed to be on October 24th with the new moon on November 7th.
If you have any questions about the project let me know. This is an important part of the 1st grade science curriculum so please help and support your child with this assignment.
