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.

Good stuff, Isabella. One thing, though, first graders might not have hear of "Solar Power" so start with "Solar Power is made by the sun, it has not fuel costs..." Also tell them why it can't work at night (there's no sun!) because they may not make the association.
Lastly, Bubb's party isn't until the 20th, I think.
What are you going to wear for Tourism Day?
I wore just what anybody wore if they were going to Florida... flip flops, a t shirt and shorts!
