Blast Off to Space!

Our week was out of this world! Space week was a blast!

We learned so much this week... We enjoyed learning about our solar system, our sun, other stars, star constellations, gravity, and more! We were amazed at how much these little minds were able to absorb this week. 


Some of our fun activities included building our own space rockets, painting suns, creating constellations, and even trying astronaut food, . We enjoyed discussing astronauts, the planets, what the sun is like, what planet we live on, and how the Earth orbits around the sun. We also discussed how awesome is it that our God made ALL of this! What an amazing God we have!


We read all nonfiction books this week, which brought lots of learning! Our letter of the week was the letter S... S is for space and stars. We looked for this letter in our Night Sky book, continued working on building our names, and continued to review shapes. In our centers, we continued to work on cutting, tracing, and counting. We have been working so hard!


Here are a few things to check with your child this week. Can you...


1. Tell me what gravity is? 

2. Can you write the letter S and tell me its sound?
3. Can you count to 15?
4. Can you write the numbers 8 and 9?
5. Can you tell me who made everything in space?!
