Super Readers Day!

We had a great time showing our families how great we are at reading. It was wonderful to see that every one of my students had someone come and read with them!

Star Gazing!

Today we made our own star gazers. We chose two different constellations each. After Miss Baxter painfully punched holes in all of them, the children attached them to the ends of tubes. Looking out the window through them allowed us to see the constellations!

Different Ways to Make a Number

We worked in partners today to try and find different ways to make the same number. They could use skip counting, coins, base ten, etc. I was surprised to see how many they came up with! (And also very proud!)

Learning About Constellations

Mr. Nason also talked to us about why we have seasons and also about constellations today. I found it fascinating to hear the stories behind how the constellations were named. Although it can seem difficult to decipher when looking at the sky at night, once you see the diagrams it makes more sense. The students were also given a star chart of when you can see each constellation.

Mr. Nason returns! We saw the sun!

Just when I thought seeing the moon was the coolest thing, Mr. Nason returned with a special telescope that let us look at the sun!!!! It looked very red through the lens. If you looked close enough, you could even see a solar flare shooting off the bottom. I tried to take a picture through the telescope with my phone but it just looked bright and red as you can see below.

Skating Again!
