Astronomy Class

Laurie Berkner Band (Thanks, Mrs.AM!) has a Planet Pneumonics song that helped us with our Hogwarts Homeschool Astronomy Class.

 Mercury's the messenger

Venus is the evening star

 Planet Earth she is our Mother

Mars is red and he's her brother

Jupiter is King

Saturn wears the ring

Uranus is motion and

Neptune is the ocean.

~Laurie Berkner, All The Planets

 

I'm not so sure that Chalk Pastels are not just cleverly marketed glorified chalk, but they come in lovely colours and work well for smudging projects.
