Rockets and Charlotte’s Web

Posted at 9:06 pm under Bucher

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF!  We are on our way into Space.  We read some books today on rockets, watched a shuttle launch on NASA’s website (which the children were just fascinated by), and then some friends made rockets during our Project Work/Free Choice time.  It was so fun and they were asking so many great questions so I am excited to see where this goes.  The three friends that were making the rockets out of found materials were talking about making “boosters”, and the “triangle on top” and the “wings” so I am excited to see that they are remembering what we have talked about when it comes to rockets/space shuttles.

Today while reading Charlotte’s Web the children were so captivated by what we were reading.  When I got to a stopping point, they begged me to keep reading!  It was great so I kept reading!!  We have about 40 pages left in the book so I am going to start looking for a new chapter book to read with the children!
