A is for Astronaut

A is for apples, airplane, avocado, algebra, abracadabra, and astronaut!

A is for Astronaut,
Exploring near and far.
A is for ALL
The Planets and stars!

We read:

Astronaut Handbook, by Meghan McCarthy.




Star Seeker: a Journey to Outer Space, by Theresa Heine.



Astronaut Piggy Wiggy, by Christyan and Diane Fox.



We sang: 

Twinkle Twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are. 

We also sang: 

Twinkle Twinkle little star,
Daddy bought a motorcar
Push the button,
Pull the choke
Off we go in a puff of smoke!
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
Daddy bought a motorcar. 


Our craft was moon sand

Recipe: 

1 bowl
Flour
Baby Oil

Add 8 cups of flour to bowl
Add 1 cup of baby oil to bowl
Using hands (or spoon) mix together until there is no liquid left. Flour should have the consistency of soft sand. Will hold a shape, but also crumble well. 


Stay tuned for letter B: Beach!
