Up, Up in the Sky theme has offered a wide variety of topics for us to explore.
1. Book & Music :
The book is about children playing under the sun, you may sing it as you read along.
The album theme is about birds, sun, star, moon, clouds everything up in the sky. We adapted our activities to dated events and Philippine setting.

2. Home Activities: Sky during Daytime
-Birds
We usually do our bird watching every breakfast from our dining area.
Walking and learning about the common birds, pigeons and maya.
 |
| Geared with an empty tissue roll as a telescope, we were counting pigeons, as one by by one they flew away, a basic subtraction concept. |
It's a sunny day, my daughter said she'll be wearing her sunglasses. What can we see up in the sky during daytime? - sun, birds, clouds and airplane!

For older child, try to explain the science behind this.
For younger ones like mine, (less than 3yrs old), talk about color, the red moon, shape and intoduce the word eclipse, which you can explain in theory with a shadow.
