Insects are waking up outside! In a soft “text to world” connection, first grade students read A Good Place by Lucy Cousins. Every insect needs something different for a perfect home, and friends Bee, Ladybird, Beetle, and Dragonfly search outside for what they need. It can’t be too busy, or too noisy, or have too many humans! Maybe a quiet garden will be perfect for all four different insects…
昆虫们正在户外苏醒！一年级学生通过柔和的”文本与世界联结”活动，共读了露西·卡曾斯所著的《一个好地方》。每种昆虫对理想家园的需求各不相同，蜜蜂、瓢虫、甲虫和蜻蜓结伴外出寻觅栖身之所——不能太喧嚣、不能太吵闹，也不能有太多人类！或许一座宁静的花园，能同时满足这四种小生灵的所有期待…

Now in chapters 4-6 of The Alien Next Door: The New Kid, Harris is even more sure that new boy Zeke is an alien. Zeke can do things normal kids can’t–like do a handstand on one finger! During art class, Zeke is also incredibly skilled at mixing paints and making rainbows out of different combinations. Is this proof of his alienness? Or just artistic prodigy? Our students tried the same paint experiment as the characters in the book to see for themselves!
在《隔壁外星人：新邻居》第4至6章中，哈里斯愈发确信新同学泽克是外星人——泽克竟能做出单指倒立等超常举动！美术课上，泽克更展现出惊人的调色天赋，能用不同颜料组合出彩虹光谱。这究竟是外星身份的佐证？还是艺术天才的彰显？同学们亲自动手复现了书中的颜料实验，试图寻找答案！

Everyone knows Google–but what do you know about a googol, the number? G is for Googol by David M. Schwartz is a unique math alphabet book. Students answered math questions to get a chance to spin the spinner which told us which pages of the alphabet to read. We learned about the Fibonacci sequence and made tables showing how adding together combinations from the binary series can make any possible numbers. Even though Math and Science Week is over, there’s a googol more things to learn!
人人皆知谷歌——但你可知道”古戈尔”这个数字？大卫·M·施瓦茨所著的《G代表古戈尔》是一本别具一格的数学字母书。学生们通过解答数学题获得转盘机会，指针停下的字母决定了我们共读的篇章。我们不仅探究了斐波那契数列，还制作表格演示二进制序列如何通过组合叠加生成任意数字。数学与科学周虽已落幕，但值得探索的奥秘堪比”古戈尔”般浩瀚无穷！
