First Graders Journey to Mars!

Buy me here!
Ms. Miranda, Ms. Fowler, Ms. Quinn and Ms. Westa's students are traveling to the planet Mars with Ms. M. We begin our journey at Mariner Valley Elementary School where we meet Horus a new first grader. Horus is excited about first grade but that changes quickly as he find out that first grade is very different from Martiangarten (kindergarten). Horus is excited, sad, mad and finally happy! We talk about the different feelings Horus has about school and make connections with this character as we share our own thoughts and feelings about first grade.

During this unit students will be introduced to the solar system, the planet mars, the Mars space rover Curiosity, character traits and comparing fiction with non-fiction books. It will be quite a trip that forms the backdrop for books we write about ourselves. Stay tuned!
