The sun and moon!

We started our unit on the solar system by learning all about the moon and sun, and incorporating some fun space stories :)


We read this awesome book, Armadillo Ray, about an armadillo trying to figure out what the moon was made of.  Then we wrote our own book and made fun art projects.







We compared the sun and moon:

We studied the phases of the moon and worked with groups to recreate them (and made them with Oreos...I forgot to snap a photo of that :( )


We read "The Three Little Aliens and the Big, Bad Robot" and compared it to The Three Little Pigs.

We did an experiment to learn how craters form.


We also learned about the Earth's rotation and revolution and the moon's revolution around the Earth.  We made two projects to display our learning (I only have a picture of one...sorry again!!)




I am hoping to do one more update this week about our fiction Writer's Workshop unit and our nonfiction Reader's Workshop unit!  We are also going to be taking on fractions soon so keep an eye out for that post as well.
