Kindergarten -- Space Drawings

In our kindergarten classes we read the book, "Dogs in Space" by Nancy Coffelt.  The story is about a group of dogs traveling through space and visiting other planets.  After reading the book, we discussed facts about the planets in the solar system.  From there we envisioned that we were launched into space and began our own journey.  Some of the students drew what planet they were visiting, or what they were doing on the moon.  Others imagined that they traveled so far into outer space that they discovered a new planet.  They then visually described what was on that planet.  The students used crayons to color in their drawing.
