The Night Sky
by Kari Sjursen
A kindergarten lesson focused on helping students ask questions about the stars, the moon, and the sun and how they move in the night sky. Students will participate in a read aloud, begin a KWL chart, and build their own telescope to examine their classroom and the night sky. Students will create a list of questions to which they want to know the answer.
