What Stars do you see at Night?

As we came back from Winter Break last week we dove right back in to learning about Patterns in the Sky. This time we focused on the Stars and answered the question, "Do we see the same stars every night?" The answer is, "No!", we get to see different stars at different times throughout the year! 

Then, we began learning about Constellations and the patterns that people have seen in the stars for many years. We also found out that during the Winter where we live we can see Orion the Hunter at night! Tonight, see if you can find Orion the Hunter with your child!

Last, we got to finish with a fun art project where we got to create our own Constellation! We learned how to make the pattern first, and how to turn it in to a Constellation and create whatever we wanted! We have been having so much fun learning about the Patterns in the Sky!

Keep Exploring,
