Energy

Tomorrow is World Affairs Day at school, and we're focusing on Energy this year. The fourth graders are going to make a presentation for the first graders. We have to write about renewable and non-renewable resources of energy. First, half the class had to search information on renewable resources of energy, like solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric. I searched Solar. Then I printed out the information, highlighted the most important parts, translated it into first grade friendly words, and wrote it down. Here is what I wrote:
Solar Power has no fuel costs. It is a renewable resource. As long as the Sun exists, its Energy can reach the Earth. Solar Power does not pollute- or poison- the air or water, because the fuels don't blow up. Solar Power can be used to heat: solar ovens, water, heaters for homes, and daylight. The only bad thing about solar heat is that it can't work at night.

What do you guys think? Is it first-grade friendly? Hope you learned something interesting.

Tomorrow is also Tourism Day, where we dress up as tourists for a Spirit Day.

It's only 1 week till my brother's birthday! And also, 1 week and 2 days till his party.
