Fall is my favorite season! I was outside looking for the moon this morning at 6:15, and it was a beautifully crisp, chilly morning. I love this time of year, and the weather makes my walks to student-teaching and to campus all the more pleasant.
If you're wondering why I was looking for the moon at 6:15 this morning, then you're not the only one. I definitely get a lot of weird looks when I'm walking around my neighborhood with my nose pointed toward the sky. Usually my boyfriend will go with me and make sure I don't walk into anyone, but this morning I was on my own. Bad news: we're approaching a "new" moon, which means the moon isn't visible right now. *sigh*
I have to keep a Moon Journal for my Science Methods class. In this journal, I draw pictures of my moon sightings, noting the moon's color, direction, and height in the sky (among other things). Every week in Science class we share our moon sightings and draw conclusions about the moon's behavior. Here's an example of our weekly moon drawings:
Our professor, NancyLee Bergey, even led us through a moon simulation using pencils, Styrofoam balls, and an unfiltered light bulb. Science class is always full of hands-on activities, which is really preparing me to be a science teacher.
It's about 4:15, which means it's time for me to head to class, but I want to leave you with some great quotes I heard in my kindergarten class this week (mostly from my Classroom Mentor), as well as some upcoming recruitment events for Penn GSE!
Until next time!
Overheard in Kindergarten...
“Why do we keep a calendar?"
“U – U is a
vowel that says its own name. U as is unicorn, U as in umbrella.”
“Is it
important to know order while you’re counting?”
“My hands
are at my side. I’m standing straight and tall. My eyes are facing forward. I’m
ready for the hall.”
“Q doesn’t
go anywhere without who?”
“The baby!”
“Right! Who’s the baby?”
“U!”
“The baby!”
“Right! Who’s the baby?”
“U!”
