Yesterday, Nick noticed something about the book \u201cWhat the Sun Sees.\u201d By Nancy Tafuri \u2013 the back cover was upside down. He told Mrs. Zurfluh about it. Mrs. Zurfluh asked: \u201cWhat do you think about that? I wondered WHY?\u201d![\"kaymbu-image1-20160315-1011\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.aas.ru\/kze\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2016\/03\/kaymbu-image1-20160315-1011-e1458039725594-150x150.jpg\")

Some students said: \u201cthe author made a mistake.\u201d Some said: \u201cNo, it is not a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
So we decided to read the book and try to figure out why. After reading, students had a conversation about the book and all agreed that it is not a mistake. The author put two books in this book: the first part is \u201cWhat the Sun Sees.\u201d The second part is \u201cWhat the Moon See.\u201d This book is similar to the book we read last week which the author put three books into one book. KZE students shared their noticing and thinking about the book:<\/p>\n
Alexandra \u2013 \u201cWhen the sun is shining on this side of the earth, the moon is shining on the other side of the world.\u201d
\nSafir \u2013 \u201cDay and night has something to do with the way the earth moves.\u201d
\nNick \u2013 \u201cThere are two stories in this book. One is about the sun and one is about the moon. The way the book can be flipped over shows the difference between day and night.\u201d
\nMali \u2013 \u201cAt night the sun shines on the other side of the world. The sun and the moon sees some of the \u00a0same places in the book.\u201d
\nVeronika \u2013 \u201cThe moon sees that the owl is not sleeping. \u00a0The moon sees places when they are quite. \u00a0The sun see places when they are noisy.\u201d
\nJulia \u2013 \u201cSometimes it is daytime in one place but night time in another place.\u201d
\nAltai \u2013 \u201cThe earth spins. \u00a0The moon and the sun are part of the cycle system.\u201d
\nTomasz \u2013 \u201cThe owl sleeps during the day \u2013 he is nocturnal.\u201d
\nAmie \u2013 \u201cThe rabbit comes out at night and the lamb comes out in the morning. \u00a0The sun does not move. \u00a0The earth goes around the sun very slowly. \u00a0It starts in the winter in January and finishes in next spring. And it starts again and again.\u201d
\nSome students disagreed with Amie’s thinking.
\nAda \u2013 \u201cThere is a pattern in the book. It changes from what the sun sees to what the moon sees.\u201d
\nGabi \u2013 \u201cThe sun sees the playground when it is busy during the day time and the moon sees the playground when it is quiet at night. \u00a0The earth is turning around so we have day and night.\u201d
\nAlex \u2013 \u201cWhen the sun is out people are playing and when the moon is out people are sleeping. The earth moves and the moon and sun are part of a cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is one of many examples that KZE students take advantage of the spontaneous learning opportunities. WAY TO GO, KZE learners!!!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
