MORE ASTRONAUTS


So this astronauts project is being a BLAST we are absolutely loving it, we are speaking lots of english, we are learning lots of facts about astronauts and we are making our teachers really proud.


We have been learning about how astronauts travel to the International Space Station in the Soyuz Rocket:




 
we then did two activities: one sequencing how the soyuz rocket changes while going to space and another one doing a shared writing about the process:



SUPER SENTENCES ABOUT ASTRONAUTS: This activity is fantastic to build sentence order awareness in our ESL students. Using these cubies we built sentences about what astronauts have  or can do. THe kiddos copy the sentence and then draw in order to show understanding of the sentences
(the verb and object cards are colored in order to help them make a correct sentence, this way the verb can in colored in blue and all the objects that fit are also blue, have is colored in green so in the object cubbie we will see written in green things like space suits, helments, rockets.) 



Learning about famous astronauts:We watched videos about Laika the dog, Ham the chimp, Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, Sally Ride and the three men in the moon Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin.
