Outer Space Exploration

The first graders have been learning about outer space. They practiced their informational writing skills by creating pop-up books with facts about the planets. The students also created books filled with facts about the sun, moon and stars.

After learning about stars, the first graders had fun using their imaginations and creativity to create their own constellations. Examples of constellations they created include a unicorn, pyramid, sunset, and a mask. The first graders shared their constellations and practiced their public speaking skills by presenting the facts and stories behind their individual constellations to their classmates.  Additionally, the first graders enjoyed learning a star song: 

Star light, star bright.

Constellations, what a sight!

The song was a fun way to wrap up their outer space unit.
