Hi families, Ms. Nancy here to let you know what we have been doing in The Mustangs room!
We have been learning about the Solar System and Space for the last two weeks. We learned about the sun and the planets, and how the stars and the planets orbit around the sun. We talked about how some planets are bigger than others, and some are closer to the sun than others, about which planet is hot and which is the coldest. The kids learned that the sun is a star and that the planets orbit around the sun.
The kids took a ride in space in our rocketship, created a rocketship out of the letters in their names, painted the moon, and cut and colored an alien.
On Friday, September 20th, we had an Out of This World party. The kids played games and had an awesome lunch. I made rocketship peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, carrot sticks with ranch, cheese sticks, asteroids (cheese balls), and Capri Suns. They had Moon pies, Milky Ways, Starburst, and Saturn rings (peach rings) for dessert.
Until next time, keep on learning and having fun!!!!
