April 28-May 2

This week, we had an exciting adventure as we learned all about the sun! We discovered how the sun affects our daily lives and how it moves across the sky. To help us understand this better, we also looked into shadows. We learned that shadows are created when light is blocked by an object.  After understanding how shadows form, we had some fun tracking the sun's movement. We did this by standing in the same spot throughout the day and recording how our shadows changed.

To wrap up our week, we celebrated our wonderful grandparents! We started by sitting with them during Mass. Then, we put on a special concert just for them! After the concert, we invited them back to our school for some tasty refreshments and a fun tour. It was a heartwarming way to end our week!
