Montessori students "launch" into space

Children create a classroom galaxy

Montessori students "launched" themselves into the solar system, by creating their own cardboard rocket ships and paper galaxies.

The students worked together to draw, colour and cut their space ships and miniature solar systems.
 
The project gave children an opportunity to work in a team-based environment; expose children to the solar system, space, and Earth; and introduce preschoolers to terms such as rotation, orbit, and axis.
