The children had a blast at the Planetarium. The show was terrific! Thank you to our chaperones Dave, Deb and Beth!! We saw stars, stars and more stars on the dome-shaped ceiling. It was awesome.
The children enjoyed helping Scarlet, a macaw, try to solve a crossword puzzle about the sky during "Our Cosmic Journey in Space." Friends in the animal kingdom helped to explore the cause of day and night, the importance of our star the Sun, the beauty of the constellations, and the variety of objects that make up the universe.
We will be finishing up our study of the solar system during the next few weeks. This field trip was a fantastic culminating experience.
We were able to go on a scavenger hunt after the show in the Planetarium. The children enjoyed exploring the varied exhibits. This museum is just minutes from the school. This would be a fun day trip during the summer.
Thanks for the opportunity to accompany the class - I had a great time on this field trip.
