Astronauts and Space Shuttles

We finally finished up Mother Goose Time's space theme.  
The kids loved taking turns rolling the movement cube and doing the corresponding astronaut workout.  They worked on walking backwards, standing on their heads, doing the superman, etc. 
They also used paper bags to create their own astronaut puppets, complete with cellophane face mask.
I read the would you rather scenarios, and the kids would use chips to vote on what they would prefer.  
They also did some patterning work using planet pictures.
And we did a little work with the letter Z by completing our monthly coloring page.
The kids made their own rockets and then used them to dance to the monthly space CD.
They also worked together to build a space shuttle out of blocks, and then took turns being the captains and counting down from 10 to blast off.  They loved taking turns as captain and telling the passengers what planet they would be flying to.
The kids took turns rolling the pocket cube and building shapes using this months manipulative.
