We've launched ourselves into myth writing this week. Here is the constellation myth we wrote together!
The Story of Ursa Major
By 1/2T 2014-2015
A long, long time ago Bear and the other animals lived in a
place called the Green Forest. It was a dark forest with trees, vines, bushes,
mossy rocks, flowers and weeds. There was a river. It was mucky near the river.
Bear and his animal friends loved to play in the river. But Bear was starving!
So Bear ate a bunny. The other animals were scared. They didn’t want to go into
Bear’s territory so they made a plan. Their plan was that they would leave him
alone. Bear was lonely and he jumped up into the sky because he was so sad that
his friends left him. So he became Ursa Major and the other constellations and
the Milky Way kept him company.
In other news, Winter Wellness Wednesdays has been a terrific hit! Everyone had a blast this week. On Thursday we had a special performance by Ah! Capella, the acapella group from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. On Friday Honi and Dina joined us for 4 Winds. Thanks so much for bringing this hands-on nature science into our classroom!
