This week students started preparing for their field trip to Morehead Planetarium. All grades will learn about earth and outer space in their classrooms, so this is a great chance for students to learn the concepts and vocabulary they will need to understand their classroom lessons.
Students started learning the following vocabulary, and more: earth, moon, planet, sun, star, day, night, constellation, around, close, far.
We also had a guest astronomer, Ms. Kathy, join us to share many new facts about space. The students had many questions to ask, and worked very hard to communicate their questions in English! Ms. Kathy taught our kindergarten and first grade students about constellations. Students looked at the star pattern from the constellation Leo, and made their own constellations. Students can keep practicing at home this week any time they see the sky!
