Letter Aa | Astronaut Unit

Our preschool lessons are back in session. This week we started with the letter A and our focus is Astronauts. It was a short week and could have spent more time on this unit. 

We read the book 

"I want to Be an Astronaut"

by: Byron Barton

This is a simple text book introducing children to space.

This is the front of their lapbooks.

The inside

 The inside includes space words with picture recognition. The lap books are almost the same each with for repetition. 
Also included size sorting rockets. 

 The count down to blast off, counting backwards from 10. They really enjoyed this and shouting Blast Off!

 Rocket colors, following color directions.

 This is our space wall. Introduction to the universe.

Find and color the letter Aa.

I let them use dot markers for this.
