Ms. Rodriguez is a big Star Wars Fan and shared this with us because she likes to celebrate May 4th, otherwise known as May the 4th Be with You Day. This is work for the week that you can do instead of our Fairy Tales. I will also post this on my website.
Today is “May the Fourth Be With You” STAR WARS Day. If you are a big fan and want fun ways to celebrate the day, here are some websites with some fun activities
But before we start...
On our journey to celebrate our STAR WARS Day, let’s learn about our solar system first! This is enrichment for the whole week (so if you want to start with the STAR WARS activities, feel free to do so.)
