Reflection/evaluation
(after lesson is taught put your reflections here)

Students were very engaged in activities. They loved listening about stars and
constellation when listening to Pebble Go and reading Night Sky. Students did a
great job and creating their own constellation by connecting the stars together.
Students then wrote about their constellation and were able to give the
constellation a name of their choice. They were also asked to identify what kind
of shape their constellation made. Some students do struggle with writing so I
had to help them with that.
