Make sure your students know they can set their sights sky high – all the way to space!
From the creator:
“Students took funny face pictures that were put in the astronaut cut out shapes. We used a Cricut to cut the shape.
Letters were cut out of silver glitter paper using the Cricut too.
Boarder was fabric tool gathered in bunched using small clear rubberbands. Boarder was stapled around the fabric.
Fabric background was a galaxy print 3 yards stapled to the board.
The rocket was a birthday party decoration purchased from an online retailer.
The classroom staff took their funny picture and put it in the rocket.”
How can you use this board with your students?
- Ask students to write down their biggest goal for the quarter/month and have them attach that goal next to their astronaut to see it every day.
- Use the board as a jumping goff point to have students write an ordered list of steps they think it would take to truly get to space.
- Have students write a creative story about the kid astronauts in the pictures.
