August Month Theme: Space

We use a really fun learning technique called "Lapbooking" for school. It makes the learning really hands on. And kids learn best that way anyhow, plus it's super FUN! This is our Lapbooking Spaceship. It has Pictures of Famous Astronauts, Lots of fun facts of space and astronauts, A place were they wrote down and learned the parts of the spaceship, and holds a personal story book they made about their space travel.

The kids Top 5 favorite things they learned about space:
1. The 1st animal in space was a Dog.
2. The planet Venus has lakes of hot lava on it.
3. The Sun is a Star.
4. Caleb's weight would be 7.5 lbs on the moon, Liahona's weight would be 7lbs, and Tamara's weight would be 4 lbs.
5. On the moon you can jump almost 6 times higher.
Caleb could jump 396 inches high on the moon, and Liahona could jump 366 inches high.
