The kids entered and went directly to Naomi's room which was our Sunshine Preschool NASA Space Training Facility. There they received their special edition personalized helmets and jet packs. After we discussed what we were going to do, we then boarded the space shuttle to prepare for blast off. Pictured below is Naomi in her gear in front of our space shuttle. (A card table turned upside down with a sheet rubbered banded on top.) Robin and I pushed them down the hallway on their journey to the moon!

Gwen and Julia were our junior cadets!
It was all really easy to do! I used
empty water jugs, cut off the handle
and top areas then duct taped like mad!
The flag and NASA symbol I found on
the internet and printed on regular
paper. Then I used packing tape to stick
them on. The jet packs were soda bottles.
Thanks to Tim and Tracy and roommates
for emptying those for us!! 2 soda bottles
per child once again duct taped like mad!
The straps were just duct tape that I
folded in half on itself and taped under
the mad duct taping!
So once they finished their journey to the
moon they got out and jumped on my bed
that I had pushed into the living room to
"walk on the moon". I hung all the planets
in our living room so we could discuss each
planet.

Simply printed the planets on paper and then
glued them onto both sides of a paper plate.
For our snack, we had Uncrustables PB&J
because they are shaped like flying saucers.
Then some of the remaining orange soda,
which should have been TANG. And each
kid had a pudding in a Ziploc. We cut off a
corner so they had to squeeze it into their
mouths like those freeze dried ice creams.
It was quite the fun day!!! Now do any of them
remember anything about the planets?
Probably not!
