Day Sky Night Sky

We've begun our study of the sky this week, and the children are enjoying space travel as we explore the planets. We are singing songs about climbing aboard spaceships and reading books about planets, both fiction and non-fiction. We've printed star shapes and made a collage sun, and we know for certain that the sun is a star! There's talk about orbits, moons, gravity, and hot and cold planets and soon we'll plan and "build" a rocket ship in our classroom...entirely of cardboard!
Until Next Time,
Michele
