Today we invited two wonderful women,one from the Adler Planetarium and the other from the Shedd aquarium, to observe our classroom. During this time, the students pretended to be astronauts who traveled to outer space to learn all about our solar system. We read an outer space book from the Dr. Seuss collection, as well as recalled the 8 planets from memory. Our little astronauts then created their own solar system with construction paper. They colored all 8 planets, put them in the proper order, and made it so they could orbit around the sun! We had such a BLAST exploring on our rocket ship and learned so much! Thanks to Betsie and Jenn for coming to visit our classroom!
Below are pictures we took today by our holiday tree! The students are proudly holding their stockings they made for their families as a holiday gift!
