Astronauts!

Today we read a book called: Astronauts by Sarah Tieck 
It was a very informative and interesting book to read about all of the work, knowledge and preparation required to be an Astronaut. It is not for the faint of heart. Afterwards, during circle, some boys set to work on building a spaceship that would be going into outer space. After the spaceship was ready and the astronauts were inside, it blasted off into space. And there were some of us onlookers that got to witness this exciting event. The "director" of the astronauts went around and invited the entire class to watch the spaceship take off. It required using our imagination! 



The book about Astronauts.

their perch in the spaceship.

The view from the onlookers perch
a safe distance away from the
spaceship. Note the other astronaut
at the controls on the ground.
