A Little Bit More Space

I didn't plan on doing any space day stuff today, since Jaymi was in school, but we ended up doing some anyway.
Today we talked about constellations, and made our own sky picture with stars & made-up constellations.

















We also made a cool black paper/pinhole sky to cover the end of a flashlight with, turned off all of the lights and lit up the wall with our starry night sky.


















And finally, Jaymi did a worksheet with a space word scramble.












She is so excited that tomorrow we are going to be astronauts!

Oh, and totally off topic, in the mail today we received Jaymi's membership package to the Young Naturalists' Club of British Columbia.
It's pretty awesome - includes:
a tiny magnifying glass on a cord
1 of 4 of this year's editions of "Nature Wild: Magazine for the YNC"
a pamphlet on wildlife viewing tips
a membership letter
newsletter
membership card
local group leader's card
a laminated bird & insect anatomy card
checklist of Victoria birds
info on making a bird-friendly yard.
The best part is a YNC Participation Passport. Everytime you go to an Explorer Day, your passport gets signed. When you complete 2 passports full of signatures, you mail it in to get a certificate and a YNC hat! You can also do other activities to earn Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates and pins.
It's all in the name of young people learning about, caring about and learning to protect nature & wildlife in B.C.
