EHLA

This week we are teaching about the Earth and the Moon.  The other activity is space probes tis activity is alot more fun to me because it is a activity where the kids have to use there imagination and different recycled materials to send to a planet.  Its cool because none of the them end up looking alike because of the planet the are going to or just because of the wierd materials.  The activity about the Earth and the moon is really boring because it is a model of the sun and moon and the distance away but it has no real excitement.  THe best part about this activity is the facts about the moon and i didnt kno the moon was 1/50 the size of earth.

I think you are right about the moon models activity - I thought it would be a little more exciting...but I think Jas & Andrea did a really good job with it, don't you? You always show in your blog and writing that you have a good understanding of the concepts we're teaching - make sure that is coming through in your interactions with the kids (and your coworkers), too. We are halfway through our session at Confluence - summer will be over before you know it!
