Mrs. Raman,
Here is my Acrostic Poem about SPACE:
Space is a place of silence
Pluto is now a dwarf planet
Asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter
Comet-Halley comes around every 76 years
Everything is called the Universe

Preparations to begin the STS-127 launch countdown are proceeding on schedule as NASA prepares for liftoff of space shuttle Endeavour on Saturday, June 13.
The countdown will begin Wednesday at 9 a.m. Space shuttle Endeavour is in place at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, undergoing final preparations for its upcoming 16-day mission to the International Space Station. Mission STS-127 is the 32nd flight dedicated to station construction.
NASA astronaut Mark Polansky, commander of this mission invites followers to submit questions that he will answer from orbit during his mission. Questions should be submitted in the form of a video not longer than 30 seconds, posted to YouTube, and a link to the video sent to Polansky's twitter account. Questions will be selected each week for Astronaut Polansky to answer from space, live on NASA Television.
Room 8 children submitted video questions to YouTube and Joseph and Shar were lucky to have their question picked. Their question was: Can you describe what an astronaut might hear in space?

It is a rectangle shape. It is blue and black. At the bottom it has two
deep long holes where you can put the white board markers. There are two different materials.

Rona and the moon
Rona i haere ki te tiki wai,
Ka hinga atu a Rona
Tu ake kei whea ra te marama ka hinga atu a Rona.
Kei hea Rona, kei runga rawa,
Piri ki te taha piri ki te ngaio.
Aue Rona
English Translation:
Rona went to go get water,
then she tripped, Rona
She stands to find the moon that made her trip over.
Where is Rona she’s way up there,
Holding the calabash, holding the Ngaio Tree
My dear Rona
