Exploring our Earth

In this unit, students will engage in learning about the sun and moon and explore shadows and how they are formed. After students have a sense of their place in the world, they move to focusing on how to protect it. Students will learn about recycling and caring for their environment, including a focus in the ocean. Students will explore ocean animals and the beach habitat before leaving for summer break. Ask your child to share with you the stories below...


Kitten's First Full Moon Kitten's First Full Moon is a simple, sweet book that tells the story of a little kitten who, upon seeing her first full moon, thinks she's found a big bowl of milk, but try as she may, she cannot reach it. She tries to lick it, jump to it, run after it...all to no avail. Will the little kitty ever get her milk?	Goodnight Moon A young bunny says goodnight to the objects and creatures in a green-walled bedroom, drifting gradually to sleep as the lights dim and the moon glows in a big picture window	Trashy Town Meet Mr. Gilly. He cleans up Trashy Town. There’s trash at the pizza parlor, trash at the school, and trash at every house. It’s a big job, but Mr. Gilly does it with a big truck, a big smile, and loads of style.
