Today we added an American Flag to our galaxy-doh, which for today was moon rock.
Playing with a flag would normally be off limits, but for this project, we made an exception. It is difficult to re-tell what happened on the moon without a flag to work with!
We started our morning off with a BANG!
Shortly after our blast-off for the moon, we read Hey Diddle Diddle. This was the perfect story to keep us busy while we traveled to outer space.
In our story we met many animal friends and learned how they played their instruments. We pretend to play along with each animal, then we played our own instruments. Since it was opposite day, when Mrs. Georgia said, "Play quietly", we played loudly. When she said, "Play loudly", we played softly.
Once we arrived on the moon, we got started with our space stations.
Today, opposite day, we drew pictures of the day and night sky. We discussed what we do during the day, and what activities are specific to night.
We used a white crayon to place stars in the night sky. When we painted over them with blue watercolor, they shone through beautifully.
We made a set of finger puppets to re-tell the story of Hey Diddle, Diddle.
We placed craters on our moons.
We used this activity to support our learners as they develop the ability to cut curved lines and manage the flow of glue.
And we dressed up like astronauts.
