We have been learning a lot about the solar system over the past couple of weeks. Now it's your turn to share with me what you learned. Pick ONE topic (either the sun, moon, or stars), and think of at least 3 details you learned about that topic. Write a letter to me to tell me what you learned, and use complete sentences to share your favorite facts about that topic. Remember to write the date in the upper right hand corner of your post, the greeting on the left (Dear Miss Shaw,) and a closing at the end (from, sincerely and your name).

I liked learning about the moon. My favorite part was the moon's stages (full moon, new moon etc.). My other favorite part was learning about moonlight that it is reflected sunlight. Almost done, the earths only moon

I liked learning about the stars. First, I learned that a constellation is a group of stars that make a shape in the night sky. Next, I learned that a star is a ball of burning gas and it gives off heat and light. Finally, I learned that the stars do not move. Thanks for teaching me about the stars.

Dear Miss Shaw,
ReplyDeleteI liked taking the test about the moon. Did you know the moon is a mirror because the sun's light hits the moon and the light bounces off of it and we see it from earth. This has been my favorite subject this year.

I enjoyed learning about the sun. One thing that I learned about the sun was how you can tell time with the sun. One other thing was that North, South, East and West are called the Cardinal directions. The last thing I learned was that the word satellite is an object that orbits around other objects.

ReplyDeletedear, ms.shaw i learned that the moon waxes and wanns and it orbits around earth. it also get's sunlight from the sun and that makes it shine. Plus the moon.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is closer to earth in winter so shawdows are lager but in summer it is father away so the shawdow is shorter. the sun is made out of gases.
And it also it is so hot you could die.

1. The sun is the only star in our galaxy.
2. The sun would take over 1,000,000 earths to fill it, and yet it is only a medium size star.
3. The sun is made of hot gas.

ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Shaw,
My favorite thing we learned about was the moon. The first thing I learned is that the moon always has a light half and a dark half. The second thing I learned is the moon has phases (full moon, new moon, waning and waxing crescent and gibbous, third quarter moon and first quarter moon). The third thing I learned is that it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a lunar cycle (one trip around the earth and all phases of the moon happen).

ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Shaw,
I really enjoyed learning about the moon. Here are three interesting facts about the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so comets come down and crash right into it. The moon is a big sphere of rock and when a comet hits the moon lava fills the place where the comet landed.
