Students added to their notes on the events of September 11th. We read a Scholastic article and watched the accompanying video. We then drafted our first paragraph together and started our illustration of the New York skyline. 

We are continuing our learning of the moon and Artemis program through readings and video clips. Students participated in a lunar impact crater lab and sketched the anatomy of a crater in their science notebooks.  

Students completed a "The Science of Me" activity where we got to know a little bit about each other. We read aloud and took notes on the book, Fireboat, to begin learning about the events on September 11th. Students were then challenged with an engineering activity to build towers using index cards.

In science we shared what we knew about the moon and compared waxing versus waning. Students also visualized crescent versus gibbous and half/quarter moon with a demonstration. Thank you to Rosie and Declan for your contributions!
