This week we are going to be starting a moon unit for science! We are beginning today by talking about what a scientist is and then we will be focusing on the idea of observation as we look at the phases of the moon. Starting tomorrow in their home communication folders the children will be receiving a moon journal. This is meant for them to look at the moon and color in the part of the circle that they see each night. It is important for them to put the date on their journal so we can see as a class how it will be changing. This project will last for approximately one month. Every week they will be given a new journal to complete so we can track the phases of the moon together. In class, we will be talking about what we observed from the night before and tracking it as a class. My job throughout this journey will be to take pictures of the moon each night so we have something to chart in the classroom. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Thanks!
Ms. Winglass
