Star Bag

On March 24th Elena brought the star bag home from school. She was very excited to go outside and see what was in the sky - stars? the moon? maybe a satellite? After bundling up (it was cold), she put on the binoculars and headed outside to look at the sky. Not much to see, just gray clouds. It wasn't late/dark enough and the sky was overcast. We kept the star bag an extra day and went out at a later time the following night. It was dark enough to see all sorts of stars and a couple of airplanes.
Elena's favorite part of the star bag experience was writing in the journal and drawing a picture of her observations. She got to share her entries during circle time in class.
