Today we figured out that it might take a while to get out into space because we are still working on our space suits and helmets…they keep wanting to work on them and are so engaged that we do not want to rush this experience.  We will continue to work on these things next week so that we are better prepared for space travel.

The children have been learning about schema and continuing to learn about how using our five senses can help give us “juicy” words to help us with our reading and writing.  Yesterday Mr. Nored began writing a class book all about clementines.  They looked at some real clementines and used some great descriptions to talk about what the clementines looked like.  Then, today we focused on the smell and the sound?  Oh my gosh!  I thought the sound part would be difficult, but they were so creative with figuring out that it sounds like it is cracking when it is being peeled!  They were really enjoying the smell of them as we passed around the clementines so we might have had to eat some of them…haha!

We hope the moon journals have been fun to do with your child!!  Mr. Nored and I each mornign have been talking about how the moon looked the night before so we have to do moon journals too now!

It is hard to see but this is a rocket (left) and some constellation artwork (right) of space that some friends put together today! We left it up because they worked so hard on it!
