My students will be assigned the book "Solar System" by Samantha bell.  It gives the basic information about the sun, moon, planets, asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. It is a nice and easy read for students and can be accessed on their iPad from the Libby app!

Students will work on learning the solar system through the use of song. The song will be listened to at the beginning of class each day during this unit to allow for students to musically understand the solar system. By the end of the week, I will have the students join in groups of 3-4 and make their own song about the solar system to present to class!

Each student will be given a journal, so I will ask them to write in it during the end of class. They can write or draw about anything from the unit, but I may pose this question to them: What is your favorite planet? Explain why.

Students will learn to notice their own shadows. They can even use some chalk to draw around each other’s shadow on the sidewalk. We can also observe shadows of other objects as we take a walk to the park. I want them to notice that shadows change throughout the day and why shadows are useful. (i.e. The shade of a tree keeps us cool on warm days.)

My students will participate in an activity where at different times of the day we will draw the shadows of figures provided to them. My students will be working on seeing how the sun shifts throughout the day and how that affects shadows.

I will have the student sit in a circle and give them a story starter such as, “On the first day of our travels in our solar system we landed on…” The students will then take turns adding to the story. The signal for the storyteller to stop and allow the next student to add onto the story will be the clapping of my hands. We’ll continue this until we run out of ideas or I can bring the story to a conclusion

I will have the students use NASA's solar system bead activity to understand the distance of the planets. The activity allows for my students to be hands on and to also think in a mathematical and logical way. They will have to measure all of the distances out for the planets and discover what the solar system looks like!

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
