Hi families,

We are excited to switch back from Social Studies and begin our studies on Earth Science. This unit will include a connection to our planet, moon, sun, and larger solar system. We will recognize why we have different times of day, month, and year. Our students will follow the pattern of the moon, and how the moon impacts ocean tides. We will even look at different planets, how planets are considered 'living', and end the unit with making our own living planet.

This week we will look at the connection our planet has to the sun and ask: How do we have a day? How do we have a month? How do we have a year?

We are blasting off to some science fun!
