Yesterday, the middle school went to the planetarium downtown to look at the autumn sky. It was really cool because on the soundtrack, they had an Indian telling the stories of the constellations. We are studying Native American culture in social studies and writing myths based on the stars for language arts. I'm pretty sure everyone, except for the teachers maybe, learned a new constellation. My favorite one is the Big Dipper, because it helped the slaves escape. We learned that it points to the North Star.
Next week when we go camping, we can look for some of the constellations.
