Here is a great opportunity to review some history with the kids! There are so many aspects that surround celebrating a day like this. The Space Race, astronomy and rocket science, the heroes, the tragedies, the triumphs.
Kids with some energy and imagination only need a box or two to invent their own space vehicles. Older kids might want to explore online what goes in to a space trip. A little creative writing can break up the language arts routine, as well.
There is even a little something for the conspiracy theorists. If you have anyone who wonders if we ever landed on the moon, you can watch Mythbusters. Collection 4 episode 9 is dedicated to examining the several points that doubters use to suggest the moon landing took place right here on Earth.
Happy celebrating!
