In our current unit, our first graders have been exploring readings about the sky to learn about the differences between night and day. Through this unit, they will develop key understandings about Earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Additionally, we are discussing how various cultures share stories to explain what they see in the night sky.
We are thrilled to share that we have seamlessly integrated this reading unit into both our science and writing curricula. The students have been actively engaged in inquiry studies, using resources like Pebble Go to enhance their learning experience. The students created a constellation projector using a cup and a flashlight and wrote opinion pieces about a part of the night sky using a flip book.
