Third Grade Studies the Planets

What an exciting way to end the school year!  The third grade busily researched and wrote non-fiction books about our solar system.  The children learned how to take notes from various resources.  Then they have used those notes to write a cohesive book about their particular topic.  The topics included the eight planets (in case you didn't know, Pluto has been demoted to being called a "dwarf planet"), the sun, earth's moon, and space exploration.  Each child not only was the author of his/her book, but also the illustrator.  This wonderful unit will concluded with a very special presentation at our "Planetary Party."
