    National Day Calendar Classroom - June - Meteors

    CLASSROOM – Meteors

    Look up at the night sky. Do you see a shooting star? Another name for it is a meteor. This week in the classroom, National Meteor Watch Day inspires us to look up! And learn about the space debris that occasionally lights up the night sky.

    Any time there is a clear night sky, far away from city lights, we could potentially see several meteors. When we see many within a short period of time, we call them meteor showers. There a certain times of the year when we have a better chance of seeing a meteor shower. These showers even have names. You can learn more about them in 9 Steps to Great Night Sky Viewing. Have you ever stayed up late to watch a meteor shower? It can be fun to do.

    We also have Celebration Challenge #16 to share with you.

    HOW TO OBSERVE in the CLASSROOM – Meteor

    Download and print this week’s projects and give your students the opportunity to discover more about meteors. You can also follow the suggestions below to help your students explore the days in their own way. It might surprise you what they discover! We’re often surprised by our own discoveries!

    Celebrate Every Day in the Classroom by:

    1. Asking a question about the day or observance and finding the answer.
    2. Exploring the subject further. Whether you read a book, interview an expert, watch a documentary, or run an experiment, there is always more to learn about the observance.
    3. Writing about the day or observance. You can write about what you learned or what the day means to you.
    4. Telling someone about the day. You might be sharing information that is helpful to someone. Or, you might brighten someone’s day.
    5. Solving a problem. Many observances discuss issues around the world that need fixing. How would you fix it?
    6. Being creative. Draw, paint, build, design, bake, create your idea of what the observance means.

    Of course, as always, sharing on social media isn’t required; learning is. But if you do, please use #NDCClassroom to share on social media.

  • CLASSROOM – Pink

    CLASSROOM – Pink

    It’s all about color (especially the color pink) in the Classroom this week. National Pink Day inspires this week’s project about idioms.

    We previously discussed idioms last August for National Just Because Day. The page offers several fun ways to learn about idioms. This week, though, we focus on idioms that use color words. Idioms tend to be colorful phrases as it is, but when we add specific colors to a phrase, it changes the meaning. For example, yellow streak and blue streak have completely different meanings. Though the meaning of blue collar and white collar both refer to types of workers, they have different meanings.

    We also offer Celebration Challenge #15 which gives you more ways to celebrate in the classroom. Have fun exploring color idioms and learning more about their meanings in this week’s classroom.

    Download and print this week’s projects and give your students the opportunity to explore idioms that use color – and don’t forget to explore pink idioms, too! You can also follow the suggestions below to help your students explore the days in their own way. It might surprise you what they discover! We’re often surprised by our own discoveries!

  • CLASSROOM – Herbs and Spices

    CLASSROOM – Herbs and Spices

    National Herbs and Spices Day in June inspires this week’s classroom. It gives us the opportunity to explore the herbs and spices that add flavor and aroma to our cooking. Whether the seasonings are dry or fresh, they make our food taste better. They also reflect on our heritage and culture. As we grow, some herbs and spices become familiar and remind us of home, events and seasons. Our project this week will explore the way these herbs and spices impact all our senses.

    We also offer another Celebration Challenge to help you explore the rest of the week!
