What's Happening
Welcome to our classroom website. ​
​We have completed our science unit entitled, Spaceship Earth, and took our assessment on March 13th. In this unit, students explored patterns of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and stars. We investigated how shadows change throughout the day, how the Sun's position changes throughout the year, and how stars change throughout the seasons. We will also created Earth, Sun, and Moon models to explore Moon patterns.
If your child wishes to retake the test due to an unsatisfactory score, please remember, he/she may do so in during his/her rotation into Ms. Vance's class.
​
Our next unit, Stars and Planets, will begin March 31st. Students explore our solar system! We will investigate how bright the Sun appears from each planet in our solar system in addition to stars of other solar systems in galaxies far away; as well as investigate gravity on Earth and gravity on other planets to discover patterns of this incredible force.
Welcome to Dennis Ortwein Elementary School Room C 212
