The "Project Space Chase (Children Having A Space Experience)"
was an integrated unit centering on multi-sensory activities.
Themes involved the history of space, weather and constellations,
clothing and hygiene, careers and technology, and communicating
and relationships. Also, I purchased a bus and it was converted
into a space shuttle and we made a space journey to the five
schools in the district. Eleven astronauts (4th graders) were
trained but each student had an important part of the blast off
day. John Glenn also visited our school. (1991)
