This is a fun, literacy activity we invented by accident - born out of
imagination and a constellation conversation.
We were talking about stars and the groups of stars that form
patterns when viewed from Earth - constellations. We talked about the 88 different
constellations listed by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy.
We talked about some of the more famous constellations like
the Big Dipper and Orion.
Then we began talking about how when we look at stars we can
see other patterns that may look like animals, mythological creatures, people,
or inanimate objects such as a microscope or a heart.
We have learned that it is a little easier to use WHITE
paper and standard highlighter markers. The florescent colors show up much
better on white paper and the highlighters are easier for children to write
with (and less expensive) than florescent paint.
The kids LOVE writing their own florescent messages.
This one is GLOWING literally and figuratively – GLOWING!
