We can’t believe the last Saturday has flown by so quickly. This week we planned to wrap up our space unit with communities. Throughout our unit we focused on different aspects of a space such as the inhabitants, planets (homes) , transportation, and so much more. However, this week we wanted to tie our projects together by creating a collaborative space community diorama for the students. This lesson went very well and the students enjoyed roaming around the class room in a carefree atmosphere. Students were able to visit four different stations that would make up the diorama. There were three areas where students could paint the sky, and one station where students were able to create the ground or Terran that would house their community. Students liked working in all of the stations however; I do not think they understand what they were really making, but it will be apparent at the exhibition once it is constructed. Throughout the past 8 weeks our students have made so many projects however, not being able to take these projects home is a little upsetting for some students. As I was working with one student she asked if she could take her project home so she could show her family. I of course said that we plan to show their hard work in the final exhibition, but she didn’t understand and began to pout. This of course made me upset, but we are all looking forward to putting our final exhibition together because students will not only be able to take their work home, but they will see how beautiful their work will look hanging in the Zollar gallery! Altogether this has been an amazing learning experience and we are excited to see our students faces light up when they see their work in the exhibition.
