Up High in the Sky!

December 11, 2017 at 12:21 pm

This week we are starting to learn all about the Solar System, especially about the Sun, Moon and the Stars. We started off this unit by asking students, "What are things we ALWAYS see in the sky? Before students answered we discussed how we are looking for objects that are always there, and never come down to the ground (like a plane or a bird). Here is what our creative 1st Graders came up with:

Sun, Moon, Stars, Clouds (we discussed how they dissolve/dissipate and reform but they are always found in the sky!), Planets, Pollution, and Air!

As we learn about the world around us we will be exploring all the patterns we find in the sky. From the length of time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun, the lunar cycle, what stars we see at night and why, and more!

Want something to do with your child(ren) at home? At night, before bed, look up at the stars! Have your child begin to find shapes and patterns in what they see. This will help give them a life experience and visual for when we dive deeper in to what stars and patterns we see seasonally!

Keep Exploring,
