This week, the two Tapestry of Grace classes blasted off into space! They both learned about the Apollo Space Program--the program that first put Americans on the moon. On July 16, 1969, three American astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins fulfilled Kennedy's pledge to land an American on the moon before the end of the 1960s. The Apollo 11 flight was the first to make it to the lunar surface, and was one of six Apollo missions to make it to the moon before the Apollo program was ended. The Upper Grammar kids made models of the moon out of clay and mapped out the lunar landings. The Lower Grammar boys made awesome mobiles showing the planets of our solar system. Downstairs, the younger kids were having a great time reading and doing activities related to the fun, catchy, alphabet book, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". They read the story together, made Chicka Chicka trees of their own and then learned how to do the "Chicka Chicka Dance."
