sky

Activities we did --

• Read It Looked Like Spilt Milk and made our own cloud symmetrical art using white paint and folding our paper. The boys were pretty creative at telling each other what their clouds looked like.
• Sang songs about weather and talked about things in the sky
• Went to outer space with our pretend space suits and helmets
• Learned about the different shapes the moon makes (from the light) and did a shadow play.
• Looked at the painting "Starry Night" and created our own using chalk (dipped in water) on black paper.
• Ate lunch and talked about the Christmas story and the importance of the new star. Cut out trees, glued stars on the top and decorated the ornaments.
• Each boy was sent home with yarn tied around their finger to remember to bring two things next time -- something for show and tell and an ingredient for a group cooking activity.

I didn't take a single photo today, but I'm sure you can picture seven excited boys learning about the sky.
