DLESE description of Aster's Hoity Toity Belt

In Aster's Hoity Toity Belt, children can listen to a fictitious story about a celestial family of asteroids and their adventures in the skyborhood. As students listen, they will learn about the smaller bodies of our solar system and the Dawn mission by identifying some aspects of the story that are true, some that might be true and some that are false. Educators can choose from three versions, including storyteller, learning notations, or illustrators. The storyteller version can be used to tell the story without comment. The learning version is annotated to provide further explanation to assist in identifying different, truthful and fictional, aspects of the story. The illustrator's version contains space for the children to make their own illustrations to accompany the text.
