What story can you create with clay?

 

Students read about what we can find in the sky. Students created a story through clay and made connections from the informational text we read. They understood the story and was able to identify things we can see in the sky. The students used the clay to help them create their own story and understand the text that was read in class.

 

Students R: I see a shooting star and it shoots through outer space.

Student J: I see a shooting star. I made a happy face. The shooting star makes you happy! You are suppose to pop it when you see a shooting star. You can pop it with a pencil; it blows away into space.

Student M: I am looking for the stars and the moon. I am looking at a shooting star its moving.

Student J: I made stars and they are in the sky. We see them at night time.
