The Night Sky
Core Learning Experience + Supplies and EquipmentIf you are teaching this topic at school, it is important that the children are able to look carefully at the sky at night. Send a note home to parents, telling them what you are studying, and some suggestions for talking to their child while observing the sky. Have them write down some of the things that were discussed to bring back to school. (Darkness, moon, shape of moon, stars, size and color of stars, twinkling, clusters, birds, airplanes and lights, shadows etc). Perhaps you could convince the parents into pitching a tent in their back yard and having an overnight campout with their preschooler!
