Today we began our Space Race. The kids each colored in a rocket and put it by Pluto. In order to move to a new planet, they must read three books (which is their fuel), write them down, and bring the slip back to school. They earn a small treat if they move to a new planet.
We're starting on Pluto (which is now a dwarf planet). Pluto is dark, cold, and the smallest. It is the furthest from the sun. The treat for leaving Pluto will be a freeze pop.
What a cool idea! Looks like a blast. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! The first grade team does this every year! At the end if they all make it they have a sundae party.
