to

the Planets!

 Theme  -  I chose the Planets for my theme.  It is for First Grade students.  I think it would be best used in the spring.  Possible standards that might be addressed include:

observe and identify the basic components of the solar system.

 describe the effects of weather on the Earth

describe how night and day are caused by the rotation of the Earth.
