Science
Visit your Sit Spot: Find a spot where you can sit and observe for 5 minutes each day or week. Ideally this spot will be outside. If going outside is not an option, you could look outside through a window or choose a spot in your home.
See Sit Spots and Field Journals for things to consider and how to set up your field journal to record your observations and questions.
How do today's observations compare to last time?
Option: Watch and listen to a real astronaut read aloud the book If I was an Astronaut.
Social Studies
You just need a partner for this one. You will work on cooperation, gentle hands, and balance. You will need one leader and one sculpture - the leader moves the sculpture body part by body part until they've created the perfect shape. Then say 'viola' and switch leaders.
