Grade 1: Planet Builders 2023

Space is mysterious and amazing, and the 1st graders can tell you a lot about it! In this project, the first grade class got to become solar nebula, and each student created their very own planet! We spent some time exploring the creation of planets, and then the students set off to design a planet while thinking about who might live there, what it might be made of, what it would look like, and of course a name! This group came up with some spectacular and imaginative designs! Pizza, hearts, and cheese balls were just a few of the wonderful inspirations for these one of a kind planets. In addition, the students designed light up constellation backdrops for their planet displays. The planets are currently on exhibit in the courtyard hallway, and will come home with the students soon! Check them out if you can… they are truly out of this world!
