Our Solar System

The study of our Solar System has taken us from the moon and moon journals, to the sun, and now the study of the eight planets that make up our solar system. Over the next two weeks we will be learning about the planets in order from the sun outwards. We will begin this week with the inner planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Followed by the outer planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Some of you may remember the acronym that helped us learn the planets, My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas, with Pluto's demotion to dwarf planet, we will be using  My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos.  Watch for interesting facts on each planet, which will be coming home nightly for homework.
