We started the lesson by watching the video Facts About the Sun for Kids: What is the Sun? Science Lesson for Kids by Twinkl USA. I had Jackson write four facts about the sun that he learned from the video on his My Sun Facts worksheet. He wrote the following: 1) The sun is a star; 2) The sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit and is a huge ball of gas; 3) The sun is 864,000 miles wide and is 4.5 billion years old; and 4) One million earths can fit inside the sun. Then Jackson cut out sun rays along the edge of a white paper plate. I cut out the center of the plate for safety purposes. Then he put two sheets of wax paper down over the cut-out center of the paper plate and traced and cut out a wider circle. Next, he cut out several squares of colored tissue paper. He will complete the sun catcher tomorrow.

Jackson was absent today.

We created a hill out of clay and covered it with sand. Then we simulated heavy rain on the hill. We observed how the flooding forced the sand down the hill. We repeated the experiment a second time with new, dry sand but added our version of straw waddles which we pinned down with toothpicks. We recorded our observations, analysis, and conclusion.

Jackson took his Spelling and Grammar tests. He completed his interactive calendar. He reviewed what an acrostic poem was and wrote and illustrated an acrostic poem about the rainforest. He worked on an activity using present tense verbs and one on indefinite pronouns.

I put several How to Draw books out for Jackson to look through by looking up items in the table of contents and index and going to that page number. He had his sketchbook and plenty of drawing media. Jackson selected to draw some dogs following a step-by-step observation and instruction method. Then he wanted to use Legos to build a house. He thought of the floor plan and designed his space. He will continue to build during lunch. He did great!
