Things in the Sky: Man-made objects, Planets and the Solar System

We have a few weeks under our belt and we've started a new unit on Things in the Sky.  The children have been sharing what they know about things that are in the sky and we are coming up with some questions that we have about things that fly.  We will talk about things that are man-made that fly in the sky.  Last week we talked about general modes of transportation and we discussed what they have in common.  Here's the list that the children came up with: motors, doors, steering wheel, and fans-and they are used to cool things down.  This was a great list they were able to tell us about.  We talked about things that are vehicles and things that aren't vehicles.  

This week we'll learn more about stars and planets.  We'll also start to create some rocket ships on paper using different shapes and colors. Then we'll build and paint rocket ships too!  We have so much to do!
