 This is our kindergarden song on a poster!

 Mika, Bekah, Keren, and me with the 3 adorable kindergardeners. 

 So cute!!

cool pluto fact!!

Pluto is cold: -233° C (-390° F), just 40° C (72° F) above absolute zero. At this temperature, all elements would be frozen except for neon, hydrogen, and helium.

so, if our rover, Infini, finds water, it will most likely be frozen!

☀☛What does "Pluto" mean? (not the dog)☚☀

"Pluto was thought to be the god to whom all men must eventually go. Romans believed him to be the god of the underworld. In Greek mythology, he is known as Hades."

★☆Fun Facts About Pluto☆★ BY: ♥♡Noa♡♥

Did you know?
1. There’s a spacecraft going to Pluto right now!
   NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is making its way to Pluto right now. The spacecraft launched in 2005, and its expected to reach the dwarf planet in 2015. It will pass right through the system, imaging the surface of Pluto and its moons, and finally answering questions that have puzzled astronomers for nearly a hundred years.
 2. Pluto has 3 moons
   You might have heard that Pluto has a large moon called Charon (more on that later), but did you know that it actually has 3 moons in total. Charon is the large one, with a mass of roughly half that of Pluto’s.
3. Pluto has an atmosphere
   Even though Pluto’s average temperature averages a mere 44 degrees above absolute zero, the dwarf planet has an atmosphere. Not an atmosphere as we know it, but an atmosphere, none the less.
