​Space

There are many galaxies besides the Milky Way Galaxy we call home. There are so many, we can’t even count them all yet! The Hubble Space Telescope looked at a small patch of space for 12 days and found 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some scientists think there could be as many as one hundred billion galaxies in the universe.

​Sun

The sun sends lots of energy toward us all the time. There are a few different kinds of energy. There is infrared radiation, which is heat. There is visible light, which is what our eyes can see. There is also ultraviolet light. We can’t see ultraviolet with our eyes, but it’s there. And it can burn our skin.

​Earth

Earth and the moon are very good friends, but they're not as close as they seem. They’re actually really far apart. The moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away. How far away is that? That’s 30 Earths. And the moon is moving very slowly away from us. It gets about 1 inch farther away each year. But don't worry. They'll still be friends for a very long time!

​Solar System

We finally got to visit Pluto, Charon, and the Kuiper Belt! On January 19, 2006, NASA launched a robot spacecraft on the long journey. This mission is called New Horizons. The spacecraft arrived at Pluto in July 2015, and it will continue to study other objects in the Kuiper Belt from about 2018 to 2022.

Monday (2/15) @LASchools will be closed in observance of Lincoln's and Washington's Birthdays

The history of Presidents' Day can be traced back to the late 1700s. People began celebrating George Washington's birthday (February 22) while he was still president.  About a hundred years later, his birthday became a federal holiday. Meanwhile, many people celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday, February 12, in the year of his assassination (1865) and afterward, though Lincoln's birthday never became a federal holiday.

Abraham Lincoln

was born on February 12, 1809, in an isolated one-room log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky

His story is as familiar to Americans as any children’s fable.

He was born in a log cabin.
He became the 16th president.
He freed the slaves and saved the Union.
He was assassinated at Ford’s Theatre.

How did an unschooled, backwoods politician rise to the presidency and guide the nation through its greatest crisis? Who was this individual who helped to define our country’s future through the force of his leadership and intellect? (http://americanhistory.si.edu/lincoln/introduction)
