Mrs. Moreno's 4th-grade science dass at T.G. Scott Elementary is
wrapping up its unit on planets. As a culminating activity, the students
researched a planet of choice, the weather of the planet, temperature,
and other interesting facts.
This research was followed up with creating an alien and an 'Xllen
Passport" for the creatures. These aliens are planning a trip to America
and cannot wait to arrive! Students have gotten very creative with
their ideas and have enjoyed sharing them with the dass and school.
