October 12 Making the Planets

Making the Planets

I’ve been having so much fun with my students.  We have been studying space.  Each student was assigned a planet and we made paper mache planets.  I did this last year, too.  The children love making their own planet.  Today they were painting their planets and saying, “We are planet artists.”  I’ve been playing Dvorak’s Symphony Number 9 when the students work on space stuff.  I don’t tell them it’s Dvorak I tell them it’s the space song.  When they start working they ask, “Can we listen to the space song?”
