Constellations poke page

Space Sensory Bin – I have some blue rocks, and glass beads, some rubber jacks, glow in the dark stars, planets, two large bouncy balls with glitter inside, the top of a toob, and a measuring scoop.

Golf tees and marbles with a block of wood (the hubs drilled holes in it to fit the golf tees).  Put golf tees in holes and then place marbles on top.

Spooning star buttons

Tweezing pom-pom balls and putting into cupcake tin (I liked that the tins were the foil one for this,b/c it looks space like!)

Space Puzzle

Star Size Sorting – FREE FROM ME

Moon Rocks counting (#1-6), (#7-12) – FREE FROM ME, the numbers are on moons.  Used with smooth rocks (‘moon rocks’) for counters.

Glitter Galaxy Playdough with star, circle and moon cutters.

Recipe:
1 3/8c Flour
1/2c salt
2t cream of tarter
3T oil
Glitter (I added about 1/4c of silver)
1c water
blue food coloring
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat over med until thick and it forms a ball.  Knead until smooth.  Add more coloring as you wish.  (I halved the recipe I used for the Pumpkin Spice Playdough, that’s why the measurements are a bit odd).

This week’s Read Aloud – Star Jumper: Journal of a Cardboard Genius

Space words and Lowercase Letters (Teaching Tiles)

Activity from Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Your Child to Read – ‘ea’ words on cards, 4 cards say ‘eat a treat’.  There were 4 cookies on the desk.  Flip the cards, read the words, and when you get ‘eat a treat’, you do it!  He loved this one (And yes he is STILL wearing his Halloween costume, he has worn it pretty much non-stop since Halloween).
