Last week, we launched our new science unit on Space. The students have been extremely excited about the unit. We did a KWL chart (K for what you know, W for what you want to know, and L for what you learned) and jotted down facts and questions they have about space. I was very much impressed by how much our first graders already know and the smart questions they have about space. Luckily, we got our fourth grade reading buddies to help us with the tricky words and understanding the challenging parts when reading nonfiction space books. This week, we have been focusing on our solar system. Ask your child about all 8 planets (plus Pluto- the dwarf planet) and see if he/she can tell you the order.
