We all had a restful April break and came back to school ready to head to outer space. That's right, we have begun studying the sun, moon, and stars. The students will spend a week learning about the phases of the moon and then a week learning about the sun, stars, and constellations. Then each student do an independent project to answer a question that they have about one of these concepts. They will do research and create a project to exhibit their new learning at our end of the year "Night Sky Museum" on May 31st from 6:30-7:30.
The students are already abuzz with energy about the museum and they have an incredible variety of creative ideas that they are tossing around about their research projects and how to transform Synergy into a museum for the big night. I can't wait to see what they come up with and we look forward to having you join us on May 31st.
The museum is just one of the dates that you should put on your calendar during the home stretch to the end of the year. Here is a list of important dates:
