Theme of the Week: Outer Space

The first week back the Racoon's didn't have a specific theme. They worked on reviewing name recognition, numbers, colors, shapes, and getting back into the swing of school after the holidays! This week the theme is "Outer Space"! The Raccoon's are learning all about the solar system! They have been chatting about the planets and the milky way! They have been discussing how we live on planet earth and where we are located in relation to the sun.

Art Project:

They glued multi-colored shapes onto a black piece of construction paper to make a rocket! Then they wrote each letter of their name in each box which made up the body of the rocket. They used glue and glitter to add some flair as well!
