Solar System

Kindergarten learned all about the Solar System! We spoke about the distance from each planet to the sun. We know that Earth is the 3rd closest planet! Anything closer to the sun could not have living things as it is too hot! We also spoke about astronauts and how they travel in space. We learned about the special outfits they wear, food they eat and lack of oxygen up in space. Kindergarten also learned about shuttles and that people have actually walked on the moon.
The children created a 3D solar system, painting each planet based on pictures they saw in books. They also labeled the planets on the board and decorated their own personal astronaut with a picture of each child's face included.  What a fun and hands on experience!
