Day and Night Lessons



Day and night/El dia y la noche
hands on learning with the sun and the moon :)

Day 1: Vocab and class chart/display



Vocabulary words are the first thing you should have and introduce.





















Night and day 





Pocket chart with vocabulary for this unit.
I use an image for every word in my classroom. Use butcher paper for words... I was originally going to draw and post student drawings on paper... however a neater idea came up.

Use blue hanger to display student drawings of day activities and a black hanger to display night activities.

I used string and paper clips to hang work. :) 





Day 2: Story and craft
Read a this wonderful story. Followed by a craft such as the one below. 

Materials: blue and black paper, star stickers, yellow, blue and white crayons, cotton bal and tape (nxt time i'll tape the crafts from the back side).





Day 3: Journal and craft


Each student got two pictures to classify as day or night and complete a sentence stem.

Idea off Pinterest.. Kids loved it :) 

Day 4:  Earth spinner craft... Students absolutely understood Earth rotation makes day and night... The sun stays put... Earth is the moving one!








I give this craft a 10 and thank my wonderful district's sciences trainings for the idea!


Day 5:
Disney Pixar's Day and Night video found on Youtube and writing activity.
