Name Rockets - Beginning of the year name activity. Can incorporate counting backwards and write numbers beside the rocket. Students will work on cutting out shapes as well as letter recognition.
Shape Blocks - Students use the shape blocks to create/mimic the laminated space picture - rocket, planet, astronaut, star, etc. Students must match up the correct block shape with the shapes on the picture.
Hands on learning - Sensory Space Tub! Students can experience multiple colors, textures and consistencies with this center. Students can even put on their space suits (white smocks) to resemble astronauts in space.
Space Center Dramatic Play - With multiple boxes and tin foil, a Space Station can be created! Students can practice their countdowns, giving instructions, and learn new space vocabulary.
