| Ready to explore at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center |
 |
| The Space Shuttle's wheel is almost the same height as a kindergartner. |
 |
| Before watching The Little Star That Could, we learned about Alan Shepard's visit to space. |
 |
| Inside of the dome theater, we watched The Little Star That Could. We learned about the sun and the solar system. |
 |
| Exploring with the infrared camera. |
 |
| We made paper airplanes and launched them through targets to test our designs. |
 |
| Our kindergartners enjoyed exploring with different materials to create objects that would take flight when put to the challenge. |
 |
| Noah and Hayden work on getting their creations to fly. |
 |
| Our favorite exhibit was where we could work together and experiment with different designs. |
 |
| There were lots of laughs and encouragement for each other's designs. |
 |
| Kindergartners also created rockets and tested their design using the rocket launcher. |
 |
| Our class enjoyed the green screen, predicting the weather and seeing themselves on TV. It did eventually turn into a dance party... but there is a lot to dance about in kindergarten!! |
 |
| Connor practices being a meteorologist and predicts a big storm is coming. |
 |
| We had fun trying to land the Space Shuttle...it was so much harder than it looked! |
 |
| Patiently waiting for our turns at an exhibit. |
 |
| Checking out the controls of a plane... |
 |
| ...and imagining what it would be like to fly! |
 |
| Good friends working together. |
 |
| KD checking out the XF8U-2 Crusader Jet. |
Thanks to all of our parents for sending in snacks and the paperwork for our field trip. So thankful for such a special trip with an amazing group of kindergartners!
