last days of chanukah, outer space, shapes

What an "out of this world" week we had!  As we said goodbye to the last day of Chanukah, we said "hello" to outer space. 

Each student in the class was given an outer space name.  He or she was called by their outer space name all week. 

Earth- Oriya
Mars- Asher
Mercury- Hudi
Jupiter- Gavriel
Neptune- Meira
Uranus- Rachel Leah
Saturn- Ezra
Venus- Eliyahu
Pluto- Yona
Sun- Natalie
Moon- Meier
Stars- Ayala
