Science:
The children have been working so hard in small groups creating a dance focusing on the inner and outer planets. They are very creative in their movements showing how the planets are different by inner/outer, what they are made of (rocky/gaseous), their temperature, and if they have moons and rings. On Monday our class will perform their dance in front of some other classes. We will all get to see Zephyr, the dance company perform later that day!
