Solar System

On Tuesday we learned about the solar system. We learned that there are 8 planets in our solar system. (which was really hard to do- since I grew up with 9 planets!) The kids enjoyed making their own solar systems and decorating the planets and the sun.

We also learned that the sun never moves. We took turns acting as planets and "revolving" around the sun.

The kids had a fun time painting on Wednesday! (it has been awhile) We talked about telescopes and what they are used for. The kids were each able to make their own "telescope" to take home.
Thursday was our "STAR" day. We made a star paper with glow-in-the-dark stars. The kids LOVED this! They were so excited to see the stars glowing after holding them up to the light.

In the Light...

 In the Dark...

We also played a number game to try and help the astronauts to get back to Earth safely.

Next week we will start on our Fairy Tale unit.
Have a great weekend!!!
