FIELD TRIP- Pierce College Science Dome

Hello Astronomers:
Who enjoyed learning about our LARGEST Planet Jupiter? You all made some great versions of Jupiter with those beans. Thank you for your participation.

Next week is our Field Trip! HOW EXCITING!!!!

Please remember in order to go on the field trip YOU MUST have a signed field trip form AND $1.00! (This gets you into the Science Dome.)

I am looking forward to taking you all on this exciting field trip. We will have a big turn out because our first quarter Astronomy class is joining us. I know you all will be on your best behavior and excited to keep those Astronomy Thinking Caps on! :)

We are leaving at 12:15ish so we have plenty of time in case traffic slows us down. Also we should be back at the Building by 2:30. Again this is allowing a little time for Traffic.

Please REMEMBER your signed form (I will have more if needed), $1.00, a lunch (or eat quick at coop) and your booster seat if you need one.

Thank you all and I look forward to Thursday!

Our Moon

What a fun day to bring us back in to Coop following Spring Break. I think all the kids did better than I did with getting back into the routine of class!

We were able to discuss Earth's Moon and it's phases. We even were lucky enough to enjoy a double decker Moon Pie! Yep you heard me DOUBLE DECKER! :) The kids did a great job eating bits of the Moon Pie away and telling us what phase their snack was in.

After a short reading, we got to go outside and enjoy the weather and play Moon Tag. What is Moon Tag you ask? It is where you can only bounce after each other, because on the moon there is no gravity! The kids seemed to enjoy the fresh air and a different spin on the tradition game of Gravity Tag! :)

Next week I will be handing out the Field Trip Forms for our April 23rd. Remember there will be a $1.00 entry fee for each child. These forms will need to be returned by April 16th so I can plan the travel to the Science Dome.

As a reminder, we will be taking all the previous Astronomy Kids as well. So no Games that week! :)

Looking forward to this OUT of THIS WORLD Field Trip! :)

See you Thursday!
