We have finished up our family life unit as of today and will be moving along to our Astronomy and Weather unit, as our first complete science unit of the year. We will be starting with a look at stars and solar systems and narrowing focus to planets and characteristics that support life.
While we will not be completing a dedicated moon journal each night this year, I would ask that you begin observing the moon at home on a daily basis, as frequently as possible, to support our development of moon phase understanding. This truly will assist in our modeling and concept building later in the unit.
We have also started our informal study of plant life. This will be ongoing across the year with various types and species of plant life and will also involve an optional planting activity later in the year as the weather warms up once again.
I think we've gotten off to a very good start so far with much accomplished in our 17 days. However, I would also remind everyone that there is a long way to go and remaining focused on tasks at hand and not on socializing will be essential to success along the way.
I hope this update find you all well. Have a wonderful week!!!
