Know Your Planet Earth: Learn More About It

The Earth is an amazing place! It's the only planet in our solar system that supports life as we know it, and it has some pretty cool features. For example, did you know that the Earth's diameter is about the same as the distance from Los Angeles to New York? That's pretty big!

If it were any further away, our planet would be too cold. In fact, out of all the planets in our solar system, Earth is the only one with liquid water on its surface – which is essential for life as we know it! We Can Breathe Earth also has a protective atmosphere which helps to regulate temperature and shields us from harmful space weather.

Complete the Sentence For First Graders

In school, first grade is when many students are first introduced to the concept of a complete sentence. A complete sentence must have two things: a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun or pronoun that represents what or whom the sentence is about. The predicate is the verb or verb phrase that represents what the subject is doing. It's important for first graders to learn how to identify and write complete sentences so that they can communicate their thoughts clearly and effectively. What Is a Subject? The subject of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that represents what or whom the sentence is about. For example, in the sentence "The dog chased the cat," the subject is "dog." In the sentence "I am going to the store," the subject is "I." First graders should be able to identify subjects in simple sentences so that they can begin to understand how sentences are constructed. What Is a Predicate? The predicate of a sentence is the verb or verb phrase that … [Read more...]

The Chinese new year of the tiger falls on February 1st this year. This is an important Chinese holiday and we should be celebrating it if you want to learn about different cultures! Cook dinner! One way we can celebrate is by having a Chinese-themed dinner party. What would you serve? General Tso's chicken is a popular dish in America, but it's not actually Chinese!
