Star Light, Star Bright! Have you seen the stars tonight?


As part of our unit on Astronomy, we have kept a watchful eye on the night sky! Each night we completed a "Sky Journal" with detailed pictures and a brief description of what we saw. We were able to see changes in the sky and even how different the moon looked each night. As budding astronomers, we will begin some "planet research" to find out more about our Solar System! Keep you posted!

ORK! Watch out for parading penguins!


Our class enjoyed the story Mr. Popper's Penguins so much we decided to visit a day in the life a penguin! (several days actually!) After researching penguin facts we kept "Penguin Journals"as a way of getting to know these interesting animals!
Here's an excerpt from Nick's journal-
I'm a little penguin in a very uncomfortable egg. CRACK! I'm free! Only a few more months and I'm out to sea!.....
Way to go Nick!
