The Moon

Good Morning Kindergarten,
I hope you had a nice time with your families this week! I hope you got to see some signs of spring while you were home.  Here are some of the flowers that grew by my house.  These are the same plants I showed you a couple of weeks ago when I first went out looking for signs of spring.





This week we are going to learn about the Earth and space.  We are going to listen to two stories about the moon  Follow this link to Scholastic's Learn at Home website.

Click on Prek -K
Scroll down to day 4 Earth and Space - The Moon
Click on Take me there.  
Click "Watch the Story."  to see the video of the story.  The first story is fiction.  It is a funny story about how a young bear has a misunderstanding.  Let's see what happens when he tries to talk to the moon.


Click "Read the book" to hear the nonfiction book.  You can click "read along" in the blue box above the book to have it read aloud.


Check your knowledge of fact and fiction by Clicking "Fact or Fiction" on the left side of the page.  Remember, a fiction story is a make-believe story.  Stories that have talking animals or animals that act like people are fiction stories.  Non-fiction books have facts in them.  Facts are true things about a topic.

Another thing we do when we read stories is called sequencing.  When you sequence a story, you put the events in order.  See if you can tell what events happened first, next, and last.  Click "Which came first?"

There is a nice video about the night sky on the week 1 Scholastic page.  Scroll down to day 4 and click on the video link, "What's in the Night Sky?"
Enjoy!
See you tomorrow,
💜,
Mrs. W.
