Out of This World Writing!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Miss Frizzle's class provides the inspiration for your young learners! Read "The Magic School Bus Explores Outer Space," and discuss the solar system. First learners will complete a KWL chart about a planet they're assigned to. Then, as a class, review capitalization and punctuation rules. Finally, they research their planet.
