@ jennifer- I really like stars and constellations and i recently saw the big dipper.

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@Luke I like the stars and constellations. I think planets are interesting too though.

Savard, Samantha said...

I am really exixted to learn about earth science because i do not know very much about the solar system and hoping to learn alot more I am also exited to learn about fossils and a bunch of other things.

Greve, Julia said...

I'm excited to learn about the planets and solar system because i don't know a lot about them but i really want to.

@Lamping Alley

i want to learn about minerals too. like bonnie and you my favorite is also the diamond. i want to learn about what kind of rocks there are.

I am most excited about learning about the solar system.I find learning about the the solar system very interesting.All i know is the order of the planets.

hutson, cody said...

@Lamping Ally I agree with you but I tink the solar system is more interresting because we live in the solar system

Andie said...

I am exciting to learn about rocks and minerals because when I was really little I had a rock collection and it really cool and interesting subjec. I don't know much but I am exciting to learn about it

Reis, Elizabeth said...

I am excited to learn about the solar system. It is something that I don't know much about and I think it is interesting to learn about because it isn't something we are used to talking about because it is really far away and not everyone can go into space. It's a different topic and it's exciting. I know a few things about the stars. I used to be really into reading books about space and the solar system. One thing I think is really neat is that the sun is a star. I would like to know more about each planet.

rentz,monica said...

I am so excited to learn about the solor system. I like the solor system cuase i like learn about the earth.I also like the stars they r very interesting.

@Reis,Elizabeth Me too, I think space is so mysterious because only a handful of people have actually been there or seen what its like not just from pictures. I think it would be so cool to go to space.

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@everyone who has said @bonnie I agree the stars are so interesting and definitely something I want to learn about as I said :)

Schwab,Izzy said...

I'm intrested in learnign about rocks and minerals because i have always found the subject interesting!!!!...Not to mention there PRETTY!!! hahaha yes dacoda i said it!!! I said they were pretty. I agree with bonnie and ally and jenifer and whoever else mentioned the solar system... i wanna learn more about the stars too!!! I have always loved astronomy!!!!!

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Mackenzie- I agree that fossils are very interesting they can reveal more and more about the past which always interests me!

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Bonnie- I can feel the excitement too about learning more about what stars, constellations, and myths Earth is surrounded by. Many myths were actually based off of the solar system and space!!! i cant wait to discover why!!

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@Courtney wow I didn't know that a lot of myths were based off of the solar system I guess you learn something new everyday. That makes me more curious about space

@kresser:) I think seeing things that bubble and fizz and make odd noises would be so cool to experience and I think it could be fun but educational. Fossils are going to be fun also to learn about.

I love all of the excitement I see about our curriculum this year! We have a year to look forward to many hands-on experiences and interesting concepts.
I hope that you each are able to set a goal for this year in science class and by the end of the year you can say we succesfully met that goal together.
Hold on tight as we begin the year by blasting off into outer space ....
