Space

We're headed to outer space this week!!  We always have so much fun during this theme and the children learn so much!  While we do a LOT of science this week!  We still pull in our other academic areas.  For Language Arts, the children made rockets using the letters of their name to practice how to spell them.

We talked about the phases of the moon as well.  One classroom made this neat diagram in their room and also used Oreo cookies to demonstrate it as well! YUM!

It's not Space week without learning about our planets.  Every classroom made their own representation from displays on their bulletin board to class mobiles.  The Waddlers came up with their own solar system where each planet was named after a child!  We also did a school wide Solar System where each classroom decorated a planet for us to hang in our hallway. 

For our letter of the week, some classrooms did "m is for monkey" but one classroom used that time to also talk about constellations by making the letter m using stars!
