The Des Plaines Park District Creative Corners preschoolers blasted off into space the first week of February. The Fantastic 4's spent two weeks learning about the planets, stars, and space in one of their weekly study units. On Thursday, the Fantastic 4's donned their space helmets, wrist communicators, and jet packs, and rocketed off to the moon, where they experienced zero gravity.

Space is one of many subjects the Creative Corners preschool students explore. Registration for the 2012-13 school year begins on March 19. For more information about Early Education Classes at the Des Plaines Park District, call 847-391-5700 or visit www.DPParks.org.
