I hung them above their beds. Now I kind of wish I had made myself one!

Constellations
We have been learning all about SPACE so the boys made their very own constellations with glow in the dark stars. Aren't these fun? We got an AWESOME book from the library called "Constellations:A Glow in the Dark Guide to the Night Sky" ... I love this book but you can't buy it anymore... We read it in the dark with a flashlight because first we'd see the lovely picture of the constellation with the flashlight on (like the tough looking bear called Ursa Major) and read the history of the image in the stars, then we'd turn off the flashlight and all he stars would glow! It was so much fun. So then we did this....

OMG I had this book as a child! It was amazing! Great activity to go with it too!
I really like how Daniel did the ends and corners of each letter (more like an actual constellation) and Jacob used as many star stickers as he could... We were running out when he got the the B, can you tell? It was neat how they each decided to do it differently.
I was totally admiring how different their projects were. I like how Daniel has random stars and what looks like nebulas or galaxies all around his, and like you said his name is in the style of constellations. I like that Jacob went for maximum star capacity and built a rocket above his A (A's do look like rockets!)
you are such a great teacher (and mom).
"Maximum star capacity" !! I love that!!
