This was awesome! Our data shows 60 moons for Jupiter not 16, though....We still had a blast doing these.

Yea, I'm so glad the project was enjoyable. And thanks for sharing about Jupiter's moons!!! I'm guessing the kids had fun "correcting" the information, they love when they're right:)
Thanks so much for commenting.

Glad you liked it, Dina. And thanks so much for leaving feedback! Sounds like you found it easy to use also, "quick", that's one of my top goals for creating my teacher materials. EASE OF USE IN THE CLASSROOM:)

This looks good...before I use it I wondered which medium gives the best effect? Painting?? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lori,
Glad you'll be using my Planet Booklet lesson w/ your students:)
I used watercolor paints for my examples you see in the PDF. Just the regular Crayola watercolor paint set. I like the way the colors become light and dark naturally as you put them on the paper. I also think it makes the booklet a little more special b/c painting is sometimes a rare occasion in classrooms. Colored pencils would work too, especially if it's important to you to have the colors stay in the lines. (Being more right brained, I'm never very particular about staying in the lines.)
Either way, hope it's fun for both you and your students.
Best,
Tisha

Your Welcome! Hope your kids enjoy it, and feel proud about accomplishing a real accordion booklet. When kids get all the right pages in order, I tell them to give themselves a big pat on the back!!

My first grade students loved this project. I think I will modify it next year so that each planet can have its own fact page.
March 7, 2012
Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
That's a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing that your students enjoyed the project. It really does mean a lot. Especially now b/c I'm in the process of devoting more time to my TPT Store (I've neglected it for 2 years!). I have many ideas for new downloads and hope to get them up in the store this summer.
Thanks again,
Tisha

Wonderful template to make a book. Takes quite a bit of prep. time (especially when making it with 90 first graders), but the end product is worth it!

Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Thank You "Lawingeme", how fun to know that 90 1st graders at your school made their own planet books:)

I felt the product was too expensive for the quality of it.
May 14, 2011
Art with Mrs Smith (TpT Seller)
Mbart, So sorry to hear that. This download and "The Great Wave" have been my most popular sellers. I based the price knowing that it would take a teacher more than one hour to gather all the info. in the PDF and then make a sample & organize it into a reproducible form for their students to make their own booklet.
Again, I'm very sorry you were unsatisfied. I'd be happy to send you any other PDF's in my store for "free" to make it up to you. Let me know which ones you'd like:)
Best, Tisha Smith

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
Subject Area:
I began my teaching career in 1989, as a 5th grade teacher. Since then, I have taught numerous other grades. Between teaching in the classroom, I took a 4 year hiatus at which time I was the Education Director for the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center. This was a dream job, but the fundraising aspects were stressful for me. I then returned to teaching, and a turn of events brought me to my true calling and I became an art teacher.
