Science-SPACE

This month we are focusing on SPACE. This week the students have learned the following: what planets are, why planets are in space, how many moons each planet has, that we live on planet EARTH-which is the only planet that has both air/oxygen and water, how the astronauts get into space, and lots more! The children are absolutely loving this unit. So far, they have had a blast making spaceships out of the letters in their names, as well as planets out of coffee filters that they painted beautifully and glued onto a black sheet of paper. Each child is full of questions, so we have created a KWL (What do you Know, What do you Want to know, What did you Learn) chart so that we can be sure to answer each of their questions in the following weeks.
