Today we dive into the meanings behind certain the days of the week - which were named after the sun, moon and planets - and learn a song about the planets.  We continue with our number 14-centered math activities and the -ay chunk.  Parents are encouraged to use this day for exploration - reading about the planets, discovering great inventors, and encouraging their children to spend time sketching their own inventions! 

You will need: 
1. Chalk - make an outdoor hopscotch board with the -ay words (or other spelling words) in the boxes to shout out as you jump on them (weather-permitting)! 
2. Math manipulatives to use for children who are adding single-digit numbers. 
3. Books or websites on the planets.
4. Paper and colorful pencils/markers for sketching
5. Websites/books to research two brilliant men who changed the world - both from the mystery country!
