Craft: Name Rocket
This week's craft was based on the picture at left.  The children colored a sheet with the moon and earth on it.  They then wrote their name on colored squares of paper.  They then glued their name to the sheet along with a triangle for the rocket top.

Literacy Extensions:
- Hello, Moon! asks questions of the moon.  Extend the book by having your child answer the questions for the moon.  You could also ask your child to come up with more questions for the moon.
- Check out a telescope from the library to view the moon with your child.
