For Space Week with senior infants, I would create a fun and engaging class plan that combines learning and hands-on activities.
1. **Introduction to Space**: Start the week by introducing the concept of space through storybooks, videos, and interactive discussions.
2. **Solar System Exploration**: Teach about the planets in our solar system using visual aids and interactive games.
3. **Space Crafts**: Engage students in creating space-themed crafts like paper plate planets, rocket ships, or astronaut helmets.
4. **Stargazing**: If possible, organize a stargazing session in the evening or use a planetarium app to explore the night sky during the day.
5. **Space-themed Snack Time**: Prepare snacks like “moon rocks” (popcorn) or “alien juice” (green-colored lemonade) for a thematic treat.
6. **Space Dress-Up Day**: Encourage students to dress up as astronauts, aliens, or their favorite space-themed character to spark imagination.
This class plan aims to make Space Week exciting and educational for senior infants, fostering their curiosity about the universe.
