Day, Night, and Space

We have been very busy learning about day, night, and outer space.
Here are some of the highlights from the past few weeks.

We illustrated the day and night pattern.

We learned about the night sky.

We asked questions about the moon. Here is our Moon Padlet wall. 

Both classes added to the same wall to keep track of our learning.

Created with Padlet

We described the moon and the students helped write the sentences.

We painted the moon with special "moon paint" and added craters.

Each student wrote their own facts about the moon. Here are just a few. 

Check out the spaces between those words! Whoop!

Stop by our hallway to read the rest of our moon facts.

Flashlight moon phases and eating moon cookies were class favorites.

We learned about the sun and stars too.

We wrote our own sun facts.

We found constellations and the moon with the Sky View app. 

(It's a free app! Check it out!)

Here are the silly Storybot songs we learned about the Sun, Moon, and Earth

Finally, we compared day and night.
Each class chose a familiar tune and wrote a song about the day and night sky.
