Wow, did your kids ever have a lot of questions about outer space after we finished watching that show today! We finished it up in about twenty minutes, and then that led to discussing the new planet that was just found within that last couple of days. That brought out many good (and some humorous) ideas for living in outer space. I also told them all about the Space Shuttle Challenger, which went down over twenty-five (!) years ago. Here's the video we watched about the new planet. The sound wasn't very good when we watched it in class, so just in case anyone wants to hear it again:
We also read a tale of undersea horror in the reading books, and after that, the students each wrote either a prequel or a sequel to it. Can't wait to read those in the kids' journals as they hand them in over the next week.
Tonight, the kids will bring home their green reading books again for a writing assignment of a different kind based on that story. They also have a helping verb sheet for homework tonight, as well as their meaning exercise for spelling.
See you all tomorrow night for the fifth grade musical!
