Third graders at Norwood Park Elem School just wrapped up a really interesting and very hands-on science project. It was a comprehensive study of the intricate mechanics and marvels of our solar system. The classroom is vibrant now and beautifully decorated with very colorful, carefully made paper-mâché planets and glowing stars gracefully hanging from the tall ceiling.
