During the first week of school, we learned about the location of our planet, continent, country, state, and town. Here is the visual we used to better understand the concept.
Students also got to practice by making Me on the Maps. Hanging above our "maps" is the All About Me banner we made on the first day of school.
The solar system was introduced this last week as we read
Exploring Space with an Astronaut. Students learned about the Sun and
made these cute suns out of paper plates to show what they know.
As a class, we learned about the inner solar system last week. We searched for facts about Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars (the rock planets). This week we will add the rest of our planets as we learn about the outer solar system (the gas giants). Students will then work in small groups to make their own solar system to put in the hallway! More pictures to come next week!
