Activity Set: Stars
Incorporating Stars into the Classroom I would take a cross Curricular approach.
Science:
Stargazing: Weather permitting, for homework I would give the children some of the constellations and see if they can identify them at night.
Art:
Starry Night Paintings: Inspired by Van Gogh, students would create their own starry night masterpieces using various techniques (finger painting, watercolors, mixed media).
Constellation Creation: Students would design their own constellations using paper, markers, and glitter.
Literacy:
Starry Tales: Reading myths and legends about stars and constellations would enrich cultural understanding and storytelling skills.
Star Poetry: Students would write poems inspired by stars.
