Our preschool has been studying SPACE. We had a wonderful opportunity to go to the Planetarium today. Kimberly and Ethan were out of school for Spring Break so the whole family were able to come. It was amazing! The presenter combined many children songs with the constellations. We sang "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" with Orion (the great hunter) and recited the Mother Goose poem of the "cow" jumping over the moon with Taurus (the bull). She managed to get a few other constellations to go with other great nursery rhymes. It was very creative and entertaining for 3-5 year olds that had to sit in a dark room for an hour. The highlight for my students were the look at the planets. The slides were beautiful. The campus of The College of Idaho had many other things to look at in there science building. Doug and the kids really enjoyed looking at all the different rock collections. I thought seeing the rocks under black lights was pretty cool. All in all it was a great start to our break! Who else can say they got to go out of this world only four miles from home?
