Field notes
written by a WONDERKID educator ↘
Parents often ask what actually happens between drop-off and pick-up. Here's a real Tuesday from last summer's Space Week.
08:30 — Free play
Lego, chalk and a slightly competitive game of four square.
09:15 — Morning circle
Today's question: if you lived on Mars, what would you miss most?
12:00 — Lunch and rockets
Water-bottle rockets launched from the field. One reached the roof. We're still talking about it.
16:00 — Show and tell
A planet made of clay, a song about Saturn and a very serious presentation about astronaut toilets.
