First Grade students are back on the road again, and this week we reached a new continent: Africa! First stop: Nigeria.
Why the Sun & Moon Live in the Sky, retold and illustrated by Niki Daly, is a lovely Nigerian folktale about how Sun’s infatuation with Sea led to him and Moon retreating to the sky forever.

While folktales are a lovely way to imagine why nature is the way it is, we learned that a great way to discover actual scientific facts is by borrowing books from the 500s section of the library – Science and Nature!
