Planet Projects

       As we finish up our unit on Space, we will combine our reading and science unit. Homework this week will be a Space Planet Report and it will be due on Wednesday, November 25th. Students are expected to create an oral report as well as a poster to hand in class next Wednesday. Be creative and have fun!

Items to include in your poster:

WHERE the planet is located. (How far is it from the sun?)

WHAT the planet looks like. (Color, what is it made of?)

HOW many moons the planet has. (Do they have names?)

Any other interesting information you may find.
****Please see an earlier post if you need to find information about each planet.****

          Our school is having a Heritage Corner Contest to celebrate National Week.  Please bring in anything that you feel would be helpful in decorating our Heritage Corner. Some ideas: Traditional Clothing, Pictures, 3-D Displays, Artifacts, or Decorations that celebrate UAE heritage.
