What a Great Lesson

Tracy did such a wonderful job today! I loved the google sky and looking at the different constellations. I really enjoyed the lesson, and I know students would be so excited about creating their own constellation and writing their own stories. It is also a great way to get them to view the different constellations, almost like they learn them without even realizing that the are learning. You can tell Tracy is a hands on teacher, and she believes in getting her students involved in the learning process. I like the way she showed the you tube clip, and told us a story of her star sign, and then let us research it on our own. This movement was an easy flow and kept us engaged. I know students would want to spend a lot of time on google sky, looking at the telescope, and all of the different star signs. Also really like the site that Kathy found while researching too. Kids would love this! Great job!
