The Griscoms are sitting by the fire. Betsy decides that she is going to put the night sky, Liberty Bell and twinkling stars on her sampler. Finally after hours of work her sampler is finished and it looks beautiful. Betsy is very proud.
What we will learn from this chapter-
Science- (Why do stars Twinkle?)
Fine Arts-(Making a Five Pointed Star)
Science- (Why do stars Twinkle?)
Betsy wants the stars oh her sampler to "twinkle" just like the stars in the sky. I asked the kids if they know what makes a star twinkle? They said they did but could really answer the question. This was the perfect opportunity to talk about stars and sun. We read two books about stars. They also read a reading comprehension worksheet on their own. Then the completed 4 work sheets about stars and the sun. After the lesson they now know that stars twinkle because its light energy is passing through many shifting layers of the atmosphere between it and the earth which appear to make stars "twinkle".
Fine Arts-( Making a Five Pointed Star)
The kids followed directions on how to fold a piece of paper to cut out a perfect 5 pointed star. It took them a few times but they finally made a star.
Thanks for Reading!
