It's been an exciting week going through our Outer Space unit! The Owlets have had a lot of fun and some new experiences that I hope made an impression on them. Sadly, we have wrapped up our space theme and returned to Earth today. The last day is space was certainly a fun one. The Owlets painted with sponges and gray paint on a round sheet of white paper, the texture of the sponge resembles the texture of the moon. They also did a little mining for moon rocks. I crumpled up pieces of aluminum foil and hid them in sand. The Owlets used tongs to move the sand around and take them out, then they explored the moon rocks with a magnifying glass. Of course, this activity could be done with actual small stones! I showed them how craters form and they got to take turns making craters in the sand. It's so much fun to drop a big rock in sand and see the dents it makes! The other centers were open as well, they have spent a lot of time at the pocket chart singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and pointing to the words with the star pointers! We had a fabulous week!
The Owls Nest will not be operating on Monday September 3rd, 2012. I hope everyone enjoys their long Labor Day weekend! Have fun and be safe!!
