Space Mural

Here is some more progress on the space mural. We’re almost finished. This is Eric’s mural. He is so proud of it. He even made a point to say he was attempting to make Orion’s Belt out of the stars.

Space food

We got the kids a freeze dried ice cream bar from Hobby Lobby so they could try space food. We discussed the process of how they make it, what its made for, why the Astronauts have that kind of food, etc. It was a nice treat!

Science mural

We are creating a space mural of the planets. Its a work in progress. But the kids are loving it!

Science

For our Science I have been using “How the Earth Works” for our Earth Science. It covers just what the boys need to know as well as some experiments. I basically plan their entire curriculum. I try to include some reading, note taking, writing, research, activities, art and an experiment. It seems to be working well. We will be using “How the Universe works” as well as some NASA curriculum I was able to get FREE. (Gotta love free) We plan on starting with the planets this month, then next month move in to rockets. My husband has been dying to do rockets with the boys. We are devoting an entire month to rockets, if we can. The boys will be making some from scratch and we will try to purchase one from Hobby Lobby. The NASA curriculum we have has worksheets, badges, budget forms and everything they use for their planning, tracking and such. It should be exciting. This might take more than a month. LOL
