IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Monday and Tuesday we began exploring the Greek symbols for each planet.  With the research that was happening with each group, a friend found the Greek symbol for their planet in a book.  That began a wonderful discussion of the Greek symbols and why they look the way they do.  The children each got their planet’s Greek sumbol and then they made out of their choice of materials.  We took photographs of them and then put them up in our room so we could reference our new knowledge.

Today we had a beautiful walk to and from The Children’s Museum.  On the way there and back we noticed the houses, the Moon that was out, and really enjoyed getting that fresh air.  While at the Museum, the children were so excited to see the show about “The Secrets of the Cardboard Rocket!”  Madeline P. said, “I feel lucky because I know a story about stars!”  Jamari noticed that when the show began it seemed like we were moving.   He said, “It is moving!  We are moving!”  As we were learning about all of the planets, Emily said, “Earth is small!  It doesn’t feel it when you are on it!”We learned new things about each planet which we will take with us for a long time!
