First Grade Sleepover 2011

Today we celebrated Chets Creek's 13th Birthday and our very own First Grade Sleepover.  It's not really a sleepover; we just show up to work in our pajamas and parade around in darkened hallways with flashlights and pillows.  I lead the way with my guitar while singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."  At the conclusion of the parade, we make our way to the cafeteria for an astronaut's breakfast and pajama party.  Then it's off to the planetarium, the asteroid hunt, the picture frame studio or the Space Worm Camp.

In the music room, we slithered and crawled around on the floor like space worms, orbited the sun while singing "Rap of the Solar System" and watched a special video entitled "Blue Beauty" (photos taken of Earth from the space center).  The day ended with a Constellation Ball and popcorn party in the Media Center.

What a great way to spend the day celebrating life on Planet Earth!

It's our Solar System, every object held by gravity making up our cosmic stew"
