“It’s time to say good bye winter and hello to SPRING” I can’t believe spring is almost here!
This week we worked with the astronauts/astronautas, rocketship/cohete and spaceship/nave espacial. They learned that astronauts explore space in specially designed spacecraft called spaceships. We talked about what they wear, how they breathe in space, and what they eat. The children did a motivational activity: We became astronauts, pretending to put on astronaut costumes, astronaut suits, boots, helmet and gloves. Everyone on board! We put on the belts and then we counted 10 to 0 and take off!… It was a fun activity where the children used their imaginations, flying through space, contemplating the planets, the stars, the comets, and they were ready to go to the moon. It was very fun to see how the children played being the astronauts. Also, to finish the week, we reviewed that in our solar system we have 8 planets that orbit around the sun. The fourth nearest planet of the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the farthest of the sun. The earth is the only planet with liquid water and Jupiter has more than 60 moons.
