Space

Our theme for this week is space! Our small groups are: making rocket names, playing a star counting game that also practices small, medium, and large, and putting together space themed puzzles. Today at the art table the preschoolers could make there own rockets, during group time we learned a "blast off" poem and looked at two books about space - one fiction and one non-fiction. The sand table has astronauts and lunar vehicles in it, and the science table has many different space pictures, moon and earth models, a flashlight sun, a space shuttle model, and an astronaut. In the gym we played astronaut, astronaut, alien, and then maneuvered our "space shuttles" around the gym floor. On our rug we had two "rockets" that the preschoolers could blast off in!
