I just finished teaching a unit on the solar system. The day I taught about the planet, Mars (the red planet)my second graders cut red pictures out of magazines. I gave them a piece of paper (card stock) with a large circle. Each student tore their red pictures into small pieces (approximately 3/4 inch piece) and glued the pieces to the circle and make a collage of Mars, the red planet. On the day I taught Saturn, the students made a postcard. My school system is pushing maps. We brainstormed and wrote words in a circle map about Saturn. The students made a postcard (one sheet of copy paper that resembled a postcard) The students wrote to their family or friends about what they saw on the way to Saturn and on Saturn and how much fun they were having. I gave them a Saturn sticker as a stamp when I walked around and checked their work. They were able to color the planet, Saturn on the opposite side like a postcard. During P.E. from a hat I drew two names of students who had followed directions and did not get their pins pulled during the unit on the solar system. These students wore dryer vent sleeves/gloves and became the captain of their team. They played a relay race in which they had to move moon rocks (foil balled up) with tongs from one hula hoop to another. They snacked on star crunches or moon pies.
