| Adventures Galore! |
 |
| Pokey had some interesting events this week! |
 |
| A super special guest reader! |
 |
| Our super astronaut even brought some space food... It looks like an ice cream sandwich! |
 |
| But by the look of his face it doesn't taste like one! |
 |
| We compared ice cream sandwiches as we know them to the space ones we just tasted! |
 |
| We learned a lot about the moon. It is made of rocks and has craters...we also learned that Earth has only 1 moon. |
 |
| Using stryafoam we made moons by adding craters.... |
 |
| Then we gave them texture by mixing paint and flour and painting them. |
 |
| We learned that clusters of certain stars have stories...these are called constellations. A great fine motor skill...lacing! You can take a post card or piece of paper at home and punch holes in them...then give you kiddos some strings and have them lace in and out each hole. |
 |
| We then made star constellations of our own...using our first letter of their name. A quick and informal assessment for me was to ask each child what their name begins with. 12/14 kiddos could do this! Quiz your kiddo at home! |
 |
| Peeling stickers isn't easy for these kiddo's sweet fingers...they are hard at work! |
 |
| Absolute Perfection!!!! |
 |
| Coffee filter Earths... After learning about the Planet we live on they colored coffee filters with markers and then used a water bottle to spray them (the water made the colors blend and look more like our planet). |
 |
| Wow! Today was filled with finger tasks. The kiddos glued paper tiles onto their rockets...they added the glue and then picked up each square to add it to their spaceship. Such independent sweethearts! |
 |
| Last week we ordered from smallest to biggest...This week we ordered biggest to smallest. |
 |
| The sun is sooo hot! My morning questions was: Do you think the Sun is hot or cold. I had 4 say it was cold. So we explored the sun...we found that it is made of burning gases. We also learned that it was a star (did you know blue stars are the hottest?)...this is the closest star to our planet. We need the sun! Ask your kiddo what they know about the sun! |
 |
| Making the sun... We put drops of yellow, red, and orange on a plate. We then put them into a Ziploc bag...they then smeared and blended the colors to make it look like the sun. A fun sensory activity! |
 |
| Oh My Goodness....We have outside time! Play...Play...Play sweet buddies!! |
 |
| The Big Dipper! We added pretzels and marshmallows to make this important constellation. We connect our weekly number 7 to the number of stars in the big dipper! |
 |
| Moon Dough mix 8 cups of flour with 1 cup of baby oil and mix! Another fun sensory activity! The kiddos LOVE this! |
Our bible study this week: Psalm 8:3 "...the moon and the stars, which you have set in place...

This is a must see video on how to wash your hair in space! We talked all about gravity! The kiddos thought this was pretty amazing!
