Space

Check out Sprout Classroom's great selection of space materials for your classroom!

In honor of my trip to Space Camp this June, here are ideas for turning your room into a giant solar system!

*Scatter glow-in-the-dark stars over your ceiling, and die-cut yellow stars over your walls. 

*Back all bulletin boards in black, and use space-themed borders or overlapping stars to frame them.

*Create a giant rocket for students to read in (I would love to see this!)

*Hang paper-mache or inflatable planets from the ceilings, with the sun over your door (can you get the spacing correct??) 

*Create small planets to hang by cutting styrofoam balls in half and placing a cd in the middle-glue the ball halves onto the cd and paint!

*Create a poster/bulletin board with the quote 'Reach for the Moon-If you miss, you'll still fall among the stars.'

Free space posters- Amazing resource!

Free lithographs- Frame a picture of each space shuttle crew-how cool!!
