Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! I'm excited about our new unit. We will be learning about the Earth, Moon and Stars. As part of the unit I would like my students to watch the moon each night and record the shape they see on the calendar included in this week's homework folder. Each student will also be required to do a project. Some suggestions could be: a poster of the moon phases, research about the moon, find out what is a blue moon, do a diorama, how many moons do other planets have, read a book and report about what you learned, research about ancient people and their beliefs about the moon, make a model of the Earth and moon, really any project will do, please OK it with me. The project is due Fri., Jan. 27th. Your student also needs a pringle's can. The kind with a metal bottom and a semi-clear lid. We are making a moon and star gazer. Please have the can to school by next Mon., Jan. 9th.
Something that would be fun to do is to go out to the SUU Observatory and look at the moon and stars. It is open to the public every Monday Night.
In Math we have studied all the Addition facts through 18. Your student should be able to pass off 100 facts in 5 min.
There will be no school for MLK Day. The next Flag Ceremony and AR assembly will be Jan. 25th at 9:15 and 10:00.
Thanks for all you do at home to support me and your student.
