Taking Space Week to new heights, Little Panthers Preschool Teacher, Morgan Little, went straight to the source to answer her students' questions...to NASA.
As Little prepared for Space Week, she collected questions from her students and submitted them to NASA, hoping for a response. But what she received in return beyond exceeded her expectations. Students enjoyed a nearly 8-minute video recorded by astronaut Nick Hague to answer their questions.
"The kids were over the moon excited," said Little, "and another cool fact is that the NASA Astronaut in the video, Nick Hague, is from Kansas."
The video was shared with all classrooms at Little Panthers Preschool as well as some classes at Eisenhower Elementary. For Little Panthers, the week included other lessons, craft projects, and sensory play - all with a space theme.
"You never know what cool things can happen when you just ask," said JoAnn Blevins, principal of Eisenhower Elementary & Little Panthers Preschool.
