Family Night at RES

This has been busy week for our First Graders!  We had an amazing field trip to the Flynn to see Shh... We Have  a Plan.  Wednesday night we had our Spring Concert.  First Graders sang several songs and even performed an instrument walk.  Today we enjoyed a family robot workshop. Families explored LEGO WeDo 2.0 robot kits together.  Such a fun week!

Star Bright, Start Light!

We are continuing to learn all about space.  Today our focus was on stars!  Your astronomer knows a lot about stars!  Ask them what kind of star our sun is!  Today we talked about when stars are visible. We did an experiment and made pretend stars.  We projected them on paper.  We blocked them with hands and paper, like clouds might block them at night.  Then we also turned on the lights.  They saw that the stars were still there, we just couldn't see them because is was so light.  Stay tuned for more facts about space coming your way!
