An ‘out of this world’ celebration at Glenwood Landing School

Posted

First graders at Glenwood Landing School took to the stage dressed in decorative “out of this world costumes” on March 20 for the interdisciplinary Astronomy Celebration in front of their teachers, Principal Bridget Finder, administrators, parents, and family members.

This interdisciplinary Astronomy Celebration combined reading and writing through science along with art, music, and foreign languages. For months, students researched and wrote books about the planets in the solar system.

During the culmination, the students sang a number of songs including “I’m a Little Rocket,” and “What a Wonderful World.” Plus, “Twinkle,Twinkle, Little Star” in three languages including English, Spanish and Mandarin.


Additionally, they told numerous funny space jokes to the joy of everyone in the audience and in the classrooms.

Parents got to watch a video which combined the students interdisciplinary learning including astronomy lessons in SWES and in their classrooms, science research, video conferences in library classes, and guest author readings. Parents were also invited back to the classrooms to read student created astronomy books, see artwork, and learn all about planets.
