We went to the planetarium this morning to learn about the path of the sun during the different seasons. Mr. Keith Turner did a great job of explaining in ways that the kids could understand about the revolving of the earth and its revolutions around the sun and how we perceive all of it here on Earth.
After we got back, I explained to the kids that we get all of our heat from the sun's light hitting the Earth, and not necessarily Earth's proximity to the sun. I explained it as though the sun is a can of spray paint, lighting the middle more directly than the top or bottom, hence the reason it's so cold on the north and south poles, but so warm at the equator.
The kids did get their spelling lists today. The assignment for tomorrow is both their definitions (many of them got that done already) as well as the 3x each.
We started on chapter 6 today in Math with a new Math Journal. The talk today was over reciprocals and multiplying fractions. They had two worksheets from the lesson for homework.
