From Space, to Our Community

We concluded our space unit today with a surprise presentation from one of our students in the morning class. Over the weekend, Trevon did some research and learned all about a new planet that is in another galaxy. It was very interesting! Mrs. Owen then showed us a video of something that has been happening in space this month: storms on the sun created a solar flare, which has caused beautiful auroras in the skies around the North and South Poles.

After our talk of space, we  moved into our next reading unit: Communities Across Time. We are learning all about how communities change. Click here to see some pictures of FSU in the past, and here to see some old pictures of Tallahassee. We looked at these today, and the class thought it was hilarious (and a bit outlandish) how different things are today than they were in the past.
