Mrs. Richards' Reports from Room 137
We have had an exciting couple of weeks getting ready for our all school Inquiry Fair. Our essential question was: How does the sun and moon affect the Earth? For our study and research of the solar system, we completed the following projects: wrote post cards to an astronaut, made small rockets out of toilet paper tubes, and completed our research booklets on the sun, moon, or the Earth. It was especially neat when the students painted different size boxes gray to make a large space rocket. Here are some pictures of some our classmates as astronauts.
