Many activities provided us with the opportunity to count backwards from ten to one...
A spaceship helped us get where we needed to go.
There was a map of the solar system on the floor to guide us.
After reading Berenstain Bears on the Moon, by Stan and Jan Berenstain, we decided the moon would be a great place to visit.
It's really dusty on the moon because there's no water. We did an experiment to see why the moon is so filled with craters. We used a pan of flour, which is a lot like the surface of the moon.
We dropped different sized marbles and balls (asteroids and meteors) onto the flour. We made craters on the surface of the moon!
The book Meteor by Patricia Polacco, tells of a meteor that hit the earth and all the commotion that it caused.
We sang, "What will I Take to the Moon?". We each had to decide what we would take if we went to the moon.
What will I take to the moon?What will I take to the moon?
The rocket is small, I can't take it all.
Better hurry up cause we're leaving soon.
What will I take to the moon?

Starry Night Playdough(dark blue playdough with silver glitter mixed throughout), was cut, squished, and rolled using knives, forks, rolling pins and cookie cutters of moon and star shapes.
We sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" over and over again and read the book by the same name by Iza Trapini.
We created our own constellations using a star box or Lite Brite.
Marbles dipped in paint were then rolled around and around on planet shapes for an interesting effect.
Balloon rocketships on a string between two chairs blasted off to the moon! We provided the energy by pumping air into the balloons.
