Orbit Periods of Planets

Today in Science, we learned about orbit periods. Students from each class created a 'living' model of the solar system and modeled how planets revolve and rotate around the sun.  Through using models, students noticed that the outer planets take longer to revolve around the sun since their orbit paths are so long.  Ask your child about the 'living' model.

During literacy, students learned about how readers sometimes read on autopilot. I demonstrated reading first on autopilot, and then catching myself, rereading, and then modeling how to read actively.  Most students agreed that reading on autopilot makes them think their book is boring which almost always is the cause for abandoning their books.
