3 Activity Sheets Activity #2 Creative Writing THE SOLOMON RAVEN SERIES Have children write a paragraph or an essay about their favorite season. Have them describe their favorite activities during that season using aspects of the particular season (such as snow in winter, hot days in summer, etc.) as a basis for their activity. [Example Winter is my favorite season. The snow gets deep. We build snow forts and snowmen. It is very cold in winter. The ice in our pond freezes. We ice skate on the frozen pond.] Activity #3 Solar System Mobile Materials Needed Graduated sizes of styrofoam balls to represent the planets String Wire Metal Hanger Directions Attach balls to strings and hang from a wire circle. Attach wire circle with more string to both ends of a wire clothes hanger. Hang mobile from ceiling hook to achieve a spinning effect. Activity #4 Personal Solar System Hold a flashlight above a globe. Pretend your flashlight is the Sun. Slowly move and spin the globe around the flashlight. Shine the flashlight on your globe as it spins. The part of the Earth that is getting the most light is indicative of the summer season.
