Astronaut Training Camp Day 1

So, we decided to make the students go through Astronaut Training camp to make sure they understood  what the Astronauts had to do before they got to go up in space.

Mission 1, Day 1:  Get FIT!  Mission 2, Day 1 : Space Snacks

Students reported for duty today.  They had to get fit.  This included saying "YES MAM!" after everything they did, including push ups!  We ran in place, worked out our arms, did jumping jacks, used weights, did core work, and did speed and agility tests.  It was SO much fun!


























 Mrs. Hughes taught them how to do REAL pushups.









 We tossed things back and forth with a partner to get used to having sharp reflexes.



 Doing core work with weights.  They should be TIRED!








 Agility and speed testing...






 Ready for action!








 Mission 1 Complete!  They survived Fit Testing!


 Crazy fit instructors!


 Mission 2:  Learning about space food......

Lesson in making a peanut butter and honey sandwich when everything is floating!


 Making our own space snacks










SO FUN!  Tomorrow's missions:  ANTI GRAVITY TESTS and MAKE YOUR OWN SPACE SUIT!
