Hello all! I know it's been awhile and I apologize. I have a new camera and will get back to daily posts. This week is all about space. There are so many things we can talk about and just not enough time! On Monday we discussed what space and planets are. Tuesday we discussed how planets move around the sun and our moon. Today we discussed astronauts and what their job is. We even dressed up for a bit. Check out these pictures!

Yes that is foil. The kids wanted to put it around their legs too but we ran out of time. After dressing up we jumped around slowly like we were walking on the moon. 

Yesterday we made name rockets and watched a video about when rockets were first built and how  large rockets were made to carry astronauts to the moon. They all loved that monkeys have gone to space too. 

So I took some pictures of some activities we do each day. Every morning they get a free play of sorts until about 8:30. Most of the time I let them choose what to do. I have such an easy going, imaginative group this year that I really let them take the lead. I also took some pictures during our daily read to self period after morning snack.
