Space Week and More Birthdays!

We have been celebrating a lot of real birthdays and half birthdays this month! We had 3 this week!

 Our birthday snack on Tuesday had bright green and blue frosting! We could sure tell who had a cupcake! :)

Space Day was on Wednesday! We started off with blasting off in our room. (If you haven't signed up for Seesaw yet and would like to, let me know. I posted a few videos from space day on there.)

The Space Center buzzed us and let us know that we were cleared for take off. We counted down from 10 and watched a real spaceship blasting off!

 We floated down to room 100 where we did space stations!

We made a moon craft.

 Tested space food (yogurt bites- baby food) and read books

 Made constellations with playdoh.

 Made a name rocket.

 Went through and space course with asteroids and mountains!

 These boys were patiently waiting to go to the next station after they finished their craft!

Another half birthday!

 These boys love their non fiction books!

 And another half birthday!

 We have started playing more board games at playtime. I have been playing with them for the first few times, but soon they will be able to play on their own. In case anyone wants to know, I won this game! :)

 We made the sun today!

"The sun is a star. It gives us light and heat."

We used foil to make it look like flames were coming off the sun.

 These boys were using glue bottles for walkie-talkies. :)

 Class T-shirt orders are due on Monday!

Math Games and Birthdays

Our new favorite math game is Connect 4! We roll two dice and have to add them together. Then we have to look for that number on the paper and try to get 4 in a row... but we need to pay attention because we need to block our partner from getting 4 in a row first! We get to play this math game whenever we finish a little early. I don't think they realize they are practicing their addition when playing it. :)

We celebrated a birthday on Thursday! Happy 6th birthday!

And on Friday we celebrated a half birthday! Happy half birthday!

Aunts to Lunch

 We've been playing a football math game when we finish early. They love adding the dice together and taking the football with that number.  The winner is the one with the most footballs.

We are hoping for a snow day sometime soon! Most of us wore our clothes backwards/ or inside out today! It was pretty silly to see us all!

Thanks to all the aunts that made it! Lunch guests are always welcome!
