We went to a Distance Learning about space presented by the Challenger Learning Center in Brownsburg, Indiana.  Each child researched facts about a planet, asteroids or comets.  Then we reported what we learned to Captain Cosmic.  She taught us more information about the planets and presented it in a fun way.  What an interesting way to learn about Space!
