Today we finished our study on stars by making star gazers.
They are very inexpensive to make and the materials you can
find around your house.
Start with a tube from paper towel or toilet paper.
Then cover one end with a piece of paper, securing it with an elastic.
Use a pin, or like us, an embroidery needle to poke holes in the paper.
Some did random holes while others did shapes or letters.
We decorated the outside with star stickers (they were donated, yay) and markers.
Having a peek at the stars was a challenge for some.
Which eye do I close?
Which eye do I hold the tube to?
But they all figured out how to make it work.
The inside of my star gazer.
I love this idea! You are so creative.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could show/post/email a schedule of how you facilitate your day. I would love to know more about how/what the children do all day long at your site. I am a brand new teacher starting my first teaching position this week (Pre-k), and I need all of the help that I can get.
Thanks,

Hi Holly, that is a great idea and I'll post about my schedule and my room over the Christmas break.
