Adventures in Space (room)

The PreK Space room is off to great adventures 

and soaring high!  

We are enjoying getting to know each other and learning together. 

We have started the FUNdations program and it so exciting to see the students "echo" the sounds and letters. We have also added our Estimation Jar weekly. This is something that the students look forward to when it is their turn. 

In addition, a class pet came to our room and has already escaped on us.  We have a hermit crab that we are calling "Bee Sting,"  because of the bumble bee on its shell. The crab escaped the first night in our room and the next morning we could not find it anywhere.  We had multiple people searching, all rooms.  It is a mystery how it escaped and got out of the container.  It was found way far away for a crab near the kitchen area by the cleaning crew over the weekend and was returned to its home in the Space room.  It had survived.  But our class had a fun time writing a story of what happened to "Bee Sting" and how it escaped.  

We are "writing" a collection of class stories.  The students have great imaginations and love to read the stories, we collaboratively write as a class.  

Our class learning motto is 

"To Infinity and Beyond" 

and we are well on our way!

Some dramatic play of having "dinner" together.

We also love to play going to the store and shop.
The "store owner" asked each buyer to produce their card so she could run it!

Our class aliens!
