What's Your Sign Wednesday

Today's title originates from our work with constellations and zodiac symbols. We started off by talking about the Universe, our Galaxy, and the Solar System. This is a BIG topic.  The tie- ins with our Mythology Unit are great!  Tomorrow in the lab, we will do some star mapping. Today, kids were able to create their own constellations.  We mapped them in class today and began working on short myths. Kids will be finishing these at home this evening.
