Ms. Reeder and her sixth grade science students blasted off for an out-of-this-world learning experience!
Panthers began their mission in the hallway, where they received official badges before entering the classroom. From there, our sixth grade science astronauts rotated through space stations, planning meals for astronauts at the International Space Station, learning about famous astronauts like Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Sally Ride, Mae Jemison, and Chris Hadfield, and completing simple tasks while wearing “space gloves.”
They also created their own planets, explored constellations, learned about gravity, and discovered fun space facts at the information desk. With galaxy lights, glow sticks, and space music, the classroom was transformed into a full space atmosphere for an unforgettable day of hands-on learning!
Way to go, sixth grade astronauts! 🌎🪐⭐
