    Finish Planet Pixies & Practice Fractions/Elapsed Time for Concept Review

    First, please make any changes that Mrs. Khanijoun may have suggested for your first Pixie drawing showing the seasons.
    Second, either open the Pixie planet drawing you started last week or choose a planet and begin your drawing. You may choose any planet, the sun or Earth's moon.  Everyone's drawing must include the following:
    1.  Your name
    2.  The name of your planet
    3.  2 to 3 facts about the planet you have chosen
    4.  Accurate colors of this planet
    Do not forget to use proper capitalization for your name, the name of your planet and at the beginning of a sentence.

    Once you have finished your pixie drawing, play the following online games to practice for your Concept Review on Friday (elapsed time and fractions):
