Today we had a great day in class discussing Mars - the red planet. We spent time outside exploring polar ice caps with dry ice. The children learned about the process of sublimation and should be able to explain it to you. We ended our class time with a fun game to review terms and concepts studied this semester!
On Dec. 11th, we will have our last day of Astronomy class for the semester. We will have a SPACED OUT PARTY! Please let this be a surprise - I am ordering something for the kids, but wanted to ask if any parents/students would like to contribute some SPACE snacks for our day.
I know many of you are creative. However, this could be a great project for your children to do as well. Thank you for anything you would like to do to make this a FUN occasion. Here's a few fun ideas I found online, but you are welcome to create your own.

Of course, you can create your own - Crater Cookies, Mercury Mix, Jupiter Jam, Asteroid Apples, etc... (I'm just making up names!) Kids can create fun ideas in their imaginations!
I would be grateful to anyone who can create something for our party. Have fun with it! We will be playing some fun games to review what we have learned, and parents are welcome to attend.
Finally, all students who have not presented thus far will be presenting on Dec. 4th - in two weeks. Please e-mail me with any questions. Have a wonderful break! Enjoy your time off!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving! We have so much to be grateful for, don't we?
