Plan sheets and several different templates included.Īfter learning about each planet, students record a fact in this flip book and color the planets. Students then write a newspaper article explaining to the world the reasons. After reading, Poor Pluto by California Third Grade Class Tokay Colon and Pluto Visits Earth by Steve Metzger, we learn discuss what defines a planet and why Pluto does not meet the criteria. Kids are so surprised every year that Pluto is no longer considered a planet and has been reclassified as a dwarf planet. Their ideas ranged from books, to asteroids to shoes for all the walking they will do on Earth. My students loved this activity! Especially the part where they reminded their friend what to pack. In the letter, they must include some facts about Earth, something they want their buddy to see and do while on Earth as well as a don’t forget to pack reminder. Students name their pen pal and then write a letter. I hope you can find something that will help you in your study of space! A Letter to an AlienĪfter reading the book, Earth to Clunk by Pam Smallcomb, students imagine they have an alien pen pal. There are all kinds of writing activities in this post. This year I introduced a lot more writing into our unit and wanted to share them all with our readers. We just finished our unit on Space which is always a favorite for first graders. 8 Space Writing Activities for the Classroom
