There are big craters on the moon.
There are lots of rocks and lots of dust. No
plants grow on the moon. It is not very
pretty.
Astronauts travel to the moon in a
rocket. -They must wear .a spacesuit.

Moon project
Grade Two did a project about the moon.
And it was fun to learns° many interesting
things about it, The moon is -a big ball. It is
in space along with stars and the
milkyway.
The sun shines on part of the moon and
the other part of the moon stays black. You
would have to do many things different if
you lived on the moon. You can't eat on a
plate on the moon. Yourfoodhastcbein
.bags. There has to be water in with your
ood.
You can't fly a kite on the moon :because
there is no wind. You _can't swim in space
because there isn't any water. There
would be some frm things to -do on tbe
moon. You could jump bigh on the moon.
You couldthrow a bigrock on the moon. It
woulki be fun to visit the moon but I think
111 live on earth.
