My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:

JDaniel loves to have me read Joey and Jet in Space by James Yang to him. It doesn’t contain many words, but it is filled with amazing pictures.
Joey and Jet start the book floating in space exploring together. Jet sees his bone floating by and chases it. Joey is visiting with a boy in a floating space room and doesn’t see him disappear.
Joey spends most of the book asking spacecraft, robots, and satellites if they have seen his dog. He doesn’t seem to be anywhere.
Finally, he hears the squeak of his dog and heads towards it. Hooray! He finds Jet and just in time for Mom to call over a satellite to them to tell them it is lunchtime.
When you get to see them with Joey’s mom, you find that they have been playing in his room the whole time. The whole story is just in Joey’s imagination.
What did we do?
Created a Mosaic 
 
I bought the My First Sticky Mosaics: Transportation for JDaniel to do on the plane trip we took for Thanksgiving. He wasn’t that interested in doing it on the plane but enjoyed working on the rocket mosaic when we got home.
Rocket Launching
JDaniel made this plastic cup rocket in science class at preschool. We have spent a lot of time at home launching it over and over again.
Supplies
Paper Rocket
Two Rubber Bands
Two Plastic Cups
Directions:
1. Color picture of a paper rocket.
2. Place Four Slits in one of the plastic cups. Each pair of slits will be across from the other.
3. Tie a knot at the end of a piece of rubber band thread it through the first slit.
4. Pull the rubber band across the cup and place the slit on the other side of the cup.
5. Tie a knot in the band.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining band.
7. Place the cup with the rocket and rubber band on top of the plain cup and push down.
8. Watch your rocket fly.

  1. We didn’t add a book this week’s craft!! But we have been reading plenty and are starting on the Christmas stories!

  6. COOL project- I just showed my son. I think that would provide hours of entertainment for all ages 🙂
