Space Shuttle Fever
Ever we since we watched the Discovery blast off last week, the boys have spent a lot of time pondering space shuttles, space staions and satellites. It's been a lot of fun to watch them incorporate it into their play. They made shuttles complete with rockets and boosters and a space station with their notch 'ems.
We definitely are going to have to take a weekend trip to visit Space Center Houston. If we can wait there is a home school overnight event there in February.
We found a couple of pretty good books at the library: The Day We Walked on the Moon and The Picture World of Rockets and Satellites.
And here are some of the more fun interactive websites where we have been hanging out:
Amazing Space
SPACE.com
and of course, NASA's website.
Here are a couple of pictures of the shuttle that the boys have drawn:
