Up, Up and Away

Let your students get up and Ditch the Desk with SchoolhouseTeachers.com. Twenty-four weekly and monthly unit studies examine topics such as being an author or illustrator, backyard critters, baking with math, banishing boring book reports, birds, the life of frontier photographer Evelyn Cameron, fairy tales, growing up Dutch, the ocean, the weather, and even candy canes! Students in kindergarten through fifth grade can learn about everything from space to the Renaissance. Since they’re already up, let them go up and away with Everyday Astronomy. This class gives elementary students a basic understanding of the solar system, along with some fun activities, including recipes and virtual “field trips” that deal with the discoveries and accomplishments mankind has made in relation to space. There are more than 180 daily worksheets available that cover the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, and an introduction to constellations.
