BLAST Off!!

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.

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