That is so cool isn't it?  It kinda ties in with what I teach to my preschoolers when we do "The celebration of life" when a child has a birthday we talk about how many times the earth travels around the sun before they turn a year older.

God is awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

yours,
Dautyz

Hi Dautyz,

It was very early in my school days that I became interested in the solar system and outer space, it was 1st grade (Catholic school) the nun, Sister Mary Carla, had us draw the solar system and I became fascinated by Saturn's rings. As a kid I absorbed as much as I could on the subject as I really enjoyed the possiblities it presented.

Actually as I think back at the aggressive teaching philosophy of the nun's at that time I am quite amazed, we were writing long hand by the second semester of 1st grade, memorizing multiplication tables, had regularly scheduled art and music instruction and appreciation and no time for "self esteem" propaganda, self esteem was keeping your backside away from her paddle!  ;)

It is great when you can get a kid interested enough in something that they spend their free time researching and studying it.

His Peace to you,

Joe
