Outer Space Scenes, 1st grade

Space scene lesson, 1st grade.

I have done this Space scene lesson a ton of different ways, and I am not totally sold on if I like it or not.  They students draw out their scenes with pencil, and then color it in with oil pastel.  Once that is done, they use tempera cakes to paint in the sky.  This worked well as long as they outlined their work first.  After that was dry, they took a new 9x12 pice of white to create their rocket ship.  They used crayon and marker to add details and color, and then cut it and glued it on their page.
