SPACE Unit

This week we have learned about Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. We are reading nonfiction text passages and finding evidence to answer questions about the planets. Students have been using their skills to identify nonfiction text features and explain how they help us as we read about new information. As we learn new information, we are learning to use the data to draw conclusions. Along with our third grade partners, students have painted their planets and are now researching information about their specific planet so they can create a poster to display their expert knowledge about their planet.
