Mothering Many

If you remember, I mentioned that we will be studying stars this term. I asked the children what they wanted learn about, and they gave me several questions that interest them, such as:

• what is the lifecycle of a star?
• why are stars so hot?
• what is a shooting star?
• what do the colors mean?
• what is the shape of a star?
• what are some constellations?

Now it just so happens that I have a constellation experiment lined up already, but as you can see from the rest of the questions, I have my homework cut out for me, LOL!
I found a website today that may help me quite a bit with that. Now, you may think from the name that they only sell things, but that’s not true. I found several good articles there, as well as telescope reviews, forums and classifieds. Yep, they have classifieds, too. You can even find used binoculars for sale!

Now, if I had visited Astromart yesterday, I would not have sent my boys back to bed when they woke up with me at 6AM. I’d have pointed out the Total Lunar Eclipse, instead.
