Munchkin Moments: Blast Off With Us!!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Blast off with us to outer space!!

There is just way too much to learn about when talking about outer space, so we will be talking about this topic for two weeks in total.

This first week, we focused on the sun, the stars and the moon.

We began on Monday with practicing counting down, like rockets do, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Blast off! We just loved this!!

While we were making rocket ships with our very own feet prints, my munchkins built rocket ships with our big blocks. I LOVED hearing them say, “Blast Off!” all on their own!

Check out these cute little tootsies!

On Tuesday we talked all about the moon. We did a fun moon walking game, trying to stay on the moon squares. So much fun!

For art we used texturized paint to cover a full moon shape. We talked all about the different looks a fun can have, focusing on the crescent and full moon shape.

In the afternoon, we made moon sand! We combined shaving cream and cornstarch and VIOLA!

We used tweezers to create our own nighty sky with felt stars and felt moons!

On Wednesday, we used a turkey baster to create splatter art for a night sky.

Later we added the moons we made on Monday and create a very cool space picture!

We went on a Moon Rock Hunt in the afternoon! We had tons of fun!

We counted all that we found! We are great rock hunters!

On Thursday, we created name rockets! Some of us worked on putting together our names in the correct order, while others looked at each letter and worked on spelling their name with me. No matter how we created our rockets, my munchkins pasted down each square all by themselves. Great job!!
