Last week, I did an entire lesson plan around rocket ships thanks to the space ship Discovery flying into DC to be housed at the Dulles Air and Space Museum.
On Tuesday morning we watched the news coverage on tv to see the rocket ship flying attached to the plane.
Then we left our house and saw the rocket ship fly RIGHT over our heads at a very low level! Sam said "THAT's AMAZING!"
On Wednesday morning we hunted in the toy box and found the toy rocket ship that Pa bought for Sam at the Smithsonian in December. We played pretend rocket ship games and the rocket ship was called the Discovery, just like the one in the sky!
Later on Wednesday we watched YouTube videos of rocket ships taking off and Sam learned to count backwards from 10-1 and then yell BLAST OFF!
On Thursday we went to the library and checked out books about rocket ships and outer space.
We capped the week with a visit to the Dulles air and space museum with Uncle D to see the rocket ship in person! Sam was BEYOND excited.
As soon as Sam saw the rocket ship and took off RUNNING towards it!

It was a VERY exciting week focused on rocket ships! Thank you space ship Discovery for the wonderful lessons about outer space.
