Miller's Little Ponies
Fun in First Grade
Learning with Miller's Littles
Happy Earth Day!
Our Earth Unit
Miller's Littles learned more about our planet this week. We sang songs about morning, afternoon, and night. We read poems about how the sun stays in one place in our solar system and the Earth rotates and revolves causing day and night and 4 the seasons. We listened to stories about what Earth is made of and how to conserve our limited resources and use alternative energy sources. Additionally , we but put a huge emphasis on teamwork and learning from one another this week.
Here we are making our Earth, Sun, and Moon moveable model. We can make them rotate and revolve using brads!
