Mr. Morrow's Science Newsletter
Science is Awesome!
5th Grade Science
My name is Nicholas Morrow and I am your children's 5th grade science teacher. I have been married to my lovely wife, Whitney, for almost 6 years and we have an awesome dog named Fawkes. Personally, my passion for science began to flourish right around the same age of the children I teach. This is a large reason why I enjoy teaching this age group. When I was in the 5th grade my father purchased my twin brother and I a telescope for our birthday and the rest is history. I have been hooked ever since. It is now my goal as your children's science teacher to foster that same passion that was instilled into me by my father all those years ago. Aside from my knowledge of the cosmos and skills behind a telescope, I also enjoy and have cultivated experience and understanding in the other fields of science. I consider it my pleasure to serve your children this year!
My Availability
I am here for one reason and one reason alone, to help your children succeed in any way that I can. If you or your child need me for any reason, please know that I am here for that very reason. Do not hesitate to email, to call, or to schedule a time to come in and visit with me about any concerns you might have regarding your child or the class. Additionally, I have made this point explicitly clear to your children in the class. So your children also know that if something or someone is bothering them, if they are having issues with course material or they simply need someone to listen, that I am here to aid them in all the ways I know how.

The Moon
This week in class the students will be learning about the Moon. We will be talking about the moon's phases as well as its gravitational influence on Earth. Because the moon is somewhat familiar to the students, they should be extra excited to share their ideas about the moon with the class. I always find this topic to be rather entertaining and insightful for the children. Below I have included a video about the moon's phases which will give you a bit of insight into some of the concepts we will be discussing.
