Greetings from Saturn! To continue with our solar system unit, we read "Postcards from Pluto: A Tour of the Solar System" by Loreen Leedy. The book's a little outdated, and says that Pluto is one of the nine planets, but I still love reading it! The copy that I have was actually my husband's when he was growing up! :)
Regardless, I read it every year with my kinders and then we create our own postcards to mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, or even our pets at home! Each child chooses one planet to "visit", and then write a message back home about their adventure. The kids love doing it, and it's nice to expose them to a form of writing that you really don't see much anymore.
On another note, after about an hour and a half, I have all of my parent volunteer bags ready to pass out! I found some fab ideas on Pinterest, stopped by the Dollar Tree on my way home, and started stuffing bags!
9 days and counting! :)
