Wow, finally I get a chance to sit down and post a blog update. What a fun thing to do on this beautiful Easter Sunday. :)
Check out my update in my weather post. I have added pictures of the kids hard at work on their weather logs. Click here to check it out!
Also, I have finally added some pictures of the kids' "Seussy Character" writing. Go see that out here.
In the mean time... we have been learning about one of my favorite things... SPACE! Whoo hoo! What a learning adventure we went on! We started off the week with a "KWL" chart (what we know, what we want to know, and what we learned about space). As the week went by, some brilliant friends used our vocabulary words that week to describe space!
We learned about stars and constellations. Then, the kids created their own constellations.
We read some books about life as an astronaut. We learned what they wear, what their job is, and how they live in space. Then, the kids created our own story about what they would do if they were an astronaut.
One of my favorite things we did was learn about the planets. Some of the kids helped me color our planets and we had a wall that we added our favorite planet facts onto as we learned about them.
Throughout the week, we were filling in out "Amazing Astronaut Adventure" journal. We drew pictures and wrote facts about astronauts and the planets we learned about. The kids did awesome!
Lastly, we tied our space unit into reading. We read some books and learned about our moon.

What fun we had! Can't wait for next week when we will begin learning about plants! My books are already ready to have little hands all over them! :)
