Our Trip to Mars Was Amazing!

Our fictional trip to Mariner Valley Elementary School was a success. In addition to meeting Horus, we were also introduced to Pelly, Nergal and Tera. These first grade friends helped us transition from "Martiangarten" to first grade. We explored the different character traits of our Martian friends and compared them to our own friends. We also identified with the themes in in our stories;
Pelly didn't want to be different, but being different also made her special.
Nergal got mixed up. Oh Nergal, you don't have to BE the best at everything, just TRY your best! And Tera, being a Star Students is hard work, but you also have to be a good friend.

Talk to your child about these books and the themes, they will be an explosion of information on the subject...better yet, visit your local library and read them again with your child.
