First Graders From Mars

We had a great time this week learning about space.  We made a project that showed how the moon goes around the Earth, how the Earth to go around the sun.  It really made it clearer for the students.   I also used space units from Jodi Southard.  The class also made a diagram of the phrases of the moon from her unit. Her units are also great for math and literacy centers and the kids love the fun pictures and activities.  We created cute aliens and wrote descriptions based on a free unit from Mrs. Tabb.    We read our descriptions and matched them to the correct alien.  The class had a great time with this project.

Here are the fun aliens we created in our class.
