The kids are enjoying our study of the planets. They have been researching a specific planet using either the lap top computers or the computer lab. Mrs. Bender's group has made their solar system using different type of seeds to represent the planet's size. (Mrs. Hartsock's class will do this on Tuesday!) The kids were amazed at the size of Jupiter and Saturn compared to the other planets.
Ask the kids what sentence they need to remember! (There is a clever sentence that helps us remember the order of the planets.)
Web sites we have enjoyed:
solarsystem.nasa.gov (Has fun space games and you can check your weight on another planet.)
www.enchantedlearning.com
www.zoomastromony.com
We are also beginning to work on our travel brochure for our planet. Thank you to Mrs. Casper for helping us in the computer lab today!
