Solar System

Our last co-op we learned about the solar system. 

Annmarie read a story called There's No Place Like Space while the kids listened.

 The kids crowded around a model solar system that Annmarie made.

 Then Larissa explained how the world spins, creating day and night. She also read a story (forget to check the name of it!).

The kids then stood up and acted like planets (rotated) while Larissa held the flashlight (representing the sun) and demonstrated nigh/day.

Larissa also explained constellations

 The kids made little planets with their worksheets and play doh.

And finally, they made a solar system with construction paper. They never got to finish this so we will be making another one.
