Reading is a Blast! although in retrospect, I wish I would've done Blast off Into Summer Reading! I looked at an image of a rocketship I found on Google to make this one out of bulletin board and construction paper. The flames are orange and yellow tissue paper. The background is a galaxy paper I bought at Hobby Lobby, and I added more white stars (cut from our Ellison machine).

The best list of space themed books for litte learners (Children aged 3-5, preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten)
I made it into the Top 10, vote for me in the "Education Creations" category here. I decided to enter the Scotch Make Amazing Contest with this bright and colorful bulletin board display. It is created using a lot Scotch Expressions tape, Scotch Duct Tape, Scotch Washi Tape, and my Scotch Laminator along with a few other Scotch essentials including a utility knife, scissors double sided tape and glue. I thought you would enjoy the details on how each of the pieces were created. "Reading" is created out of tape. I printed the outlines of the letters on white cardstock and then used various colors of tape, some cut into tiny triangles and arranged in a mosaic pattern. Scotch star shaped Post-It Notes decorate the entire board. This word took me hours to complete. I think I was dreaming of tiny triangles that night. The top of my bulletin board display is decorated with a box of books, the box decorated in tape to look like a shuttle panel, the inside with Scotch Duct tape. The containers of pencils and bookmarks are decorated in tape as well. I also included the Scotch doodle pad for writing down favorite books or quotes. I designed these bookmarks and am including a link for a free printable here (for personal use only). I printed the bookmarks and decorated the backs with Scotch tape and then sent them through my handy, dandy Scotch laminator. The pencils are wrapped in different colors of Scotch tape. Every rocket theme needs a countdown, so I included a countdown of the top 4th grade books. The entire bulletin board is decorated in Scotch Star Shaped Post-It Notes. These fun little rockets were so easy to make using the Scotch tape and Scotch glue. They would make a great project for the classroom and are fun to create and decorate however you want. The huge rocket is about 3 feet long and was created using poster board decorated in various kinds of Scotch tape. The moon is also decorated with silver Scotch tape to add a bit of moon detail. Every little reading nook should have a bright colored rug. The rug is made using Scotch masking tape and Duct tape. The bright colors and diagonal pattern make it fun in the space. In the bookcase, I used Scotch Duct tape and clear packing tape to cover these magazine holders and to break up different genres of books. I had so much fun creating all of these little projects out of tape. My kids love the little "library" in our house and never want to take it down. Follow along on Instagram to see all of the #makeamazingcontest entries and follow @ScotchProducts to watch the final countdown on the winners. I am hoping one of them is me!

Take a look at this awesome list of books about the Solar System for kids! Believe me, these are the best outer space books for kids that we've read so far!
The last two weeks, we've been focusing on our Space unit. I always start with the moon. They always love learning about the moon. We made our Schema chart (I always use 2 different color sticky notes to show the old vs. new learning) and added to it throughout the first week. Here are some of the books we read throughout the unit... And throughout the unit, I showed some videos on YouTube about being in space, as an astronaut. I have a few different videos saved on my {SPACE CHANNEL} if you want to check them out. Let me know if you know of any others that I can add to show next year!! In small groups, we read NF passages and focused on finding the answers RIGHT in the article....highlighting the answers. And STEALING and SLIDING.... using part of the question in the answer... They added a lot of new words to their vocabulary... they made their vocabulary journals for the unit and kept adding to them during the 2 weeks. Once we finished adding words, I stapled all the pages in the book. They made their orbit craft - this really helps them to visualize the orbit. We did the comparison in small groups first, then I sent them back to their seat to finish the cut and paste activity. We did on the board... And then they used their venn-diagram in their notebooks to help plan for their writing ... She is using her {Spelling Journal} to help with any words she doesn't know. They wrote about how the moon was different from Earth....but you can just do moon facts too! We spent a day in the computer lab researching stars. I wrote out 3 questions for them to find the answers to in PebbleGo. They are getting better and better at finding answers! Then the finale - Astronaut craft!! and space hat - of course! :) Check out my Space Unit {HERE}

This moon craft is great for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, or older kids. It's a great art extension during a space theme in the classroom.
Photo © 2010 Enokson, Flickr We recently stumbled across these awesome space themed posters created for a junior high library and we thought they would look great in the classroom too! With vibrant colors, fun sayings, and cutesy graphics, we know your 'earthlings' will love them! Take Me To Your 'Readers' Originally created for a library, the sayings - "Earthlings, Take Me To Your Readers", "Explore The Final Frontier - Your Library", and "We Have A Galaxy of Great Books" - are generic enough that they can be tailored to fit your classroom as well! It looks like the original creators used a personal cutting machine to create the elements, but you could get a similar look either by drawing your own {if you're an artist} or using templates found online. Stars. Aliens. Spaceships. Rockets. Even a space dog! Created from brightly colored card stock and mounted onto black background paper, you'll get a similar effect. We like the idea of creating the various posters, but you could also combine the three displays to create a larger space themed board!
