Aloha e 4B Students,
In class today you will be taking a pre-assessment on our first trimester goals. Here are our goals for first trimester:
I can name and find all 8 cardinal directions / points. I can explain by drawing or writing why the earth has seasons. I can name and identify at least 2 constellations.
Prep & Surf is what I’ll be calling our new procedures when you come into science. Basically, its taking the first 20 minutes to complete the following tasks:
Prep: making sure your pencils are sharpened and you have all other supplies ready for class Surf: finding a book or magazine to read and explore. Quietly read an article or book to gain new knowledge through science literacy. During this time, you are to complete a Draw and Write in your science notebook. It should include the title of the book/magazine article, date. Provide an interesting fact or idea that you read about with an accompanying picture.
Our first discussion will revolve around The Shape of the Sky. We’ll read a small book that highlights what is the celestial sphere and finding your way using the cardinal points/directions. As a class we’ll take some time to go outside in the beautiful sunshine to practice finding the cardinal directions.
Classwork:

Cheers, Ms. Chang
