I know I say it all the time but . . . "I LOVE THIS UNIT"! This is truly one of my favorites. It still amazes me to see how much my little sponges can absorb. The sky was the limit (literally) this week as we discussed our solar system. We started out the week with a big surprise - a rocket ship in our classroom! Our square snowman got a weekend makeover! Everyone loved pretending where the next rocket would go. Since we quickly learned that the sun is the center of our universe, we started off our week by doing a wonderful art project of the sun! This is one of my personal favorites because even though everyone uses exactly the same material, the final results are all different. We started with a BIG round circle and added our paint. Next, we covered it with clear plastic wrap - Here comes the fun part . . . next we squish it! Everyone of course has their own technique. Some are gentle while others literally beat the daylights out of it. Either way, the results are amazing! We quickly plopped the wet sun onto a LARGE piece of black construction paper and added the sun rays. OH MY! At this point I realized these were something special! One of my favorite things to do during "Solar System" week is to assign each child a planet name. This year I have 10 children in my classroom, so everyone got a planet name and we even had earth's moon! The entire week we called everyone by their planet name. I added new facts each day and by the end of the week my entire class could not only locate their planet on the diagram, but most could locate and name the entire solar system! Since the big rocket was staring at us all week, we decided to "fly to the moon!". I found this amazing astronaut over at Crayola and I knew he/she would be perfect. I tweaked him just a little by cutting him out, adding details to the flag and removing his face (we will add ours later!). Then we started painting! I was amazed at how insistent my class was about painting the American flag "the right way". Everyone wanted the little square to be blue and it had to have stripes on it! Needless to say, I was proud! I told everyone that they could do any planet they wanted. I guess they really WERE listening in circle time because each and everyone of them knew that men had already been to the moon, so off the moon we went. We made our moon by doing a good old fashion sand paper rubbing. Finally, it was time to put it all together. We added our rocket ship (with hand print flames), some stars and WOW! I hope the parents loved it as much as I did! Our Fabulous Fun Friday was SO EXCITING! First, we are lucky enough to have an amazing Dad who is a landscaper. I put out an S.O.S. for some rocks and he came through BIG time. They were perfect for our moon rocks! Everyone used silver paint to stick on some black and white tissue paper. After they dried we added a little silver glitter glue and . . . . instant moon rocks! SWEET! To me the most exciting part of the week happened when we headed to the kitchen on Friday. First we made a rocket cookie for our snack. Next, we made our very own "moon sand"! The recipe is very simple - 4 cups of sand 2 cups of corn starch 1 cup of water Mix together and have fun! AND BOY DID WE HAVE FUN! Before we knew it we had been in our kitchen area for over an hour! We even sent everyone home with their very own bag of "moon sand". Our "Solar System" week was only four days because of the "Martin Luther King" holiday on Monday. We voted and decided that we needed ONE MORE DAY, so on Monday of the following week we savored the last sweet day of our solar system with the most amazing project, a name rocket. First everyone wrote the letters of their names on little squares of paper. Next, we lined them up in the shape of a rocket, added some stars and more flames AND . . . . . . another WOW project! And, before you ask, YES! the children wrote their names BY THEMSELVES! I AM SO PROUD! It was great week. I hope you visit us again. Next week we will be talking about the circus!

If you ask A. what his favorite color is, he will name every color that he knows. I've decided to throw him a rainbow birthday party. Even though, only a few friends and family are invited, I couldn't resist, but still go big with the treats. First up are rainbow candy-ka-bobs. I went shopping for different colored candy that could be skewered on a stick. I found fruit slices and gumdrops were both colorful and yummy. I lined up the candy in different combinations, but following the rainbow color sequence. Then, I used a coffee stick stirrer to skewer the candy. Voila! A rainbow candy-ka-bob! Bag it and tie it with a ribbon and you are done. One done, a dozen to go... Cute, simple, pretty, and as A. would say, yummmmmy!
We love handprint crafts in our house and love to compare this year's handprints to those of past years to see how much our �little turkey' has grown! This handprint turkey craft is a classic Thanksgiving craft that was a huge hit in our family again this year and we all got to make a turkey! These turkey handprints make great gifts for the family or great homemade Thanksgiving decorations and are easy enough for even young kids to make.
