"Night of the Stars"

Monday, February 20th

Today our class began reading “The Night of the Stars” by Douglas Gutierrez. This book was about a man who didn’t like the night because when night comes, the light goes away and the colors disappear. The man decided to do something to keep the colors! One night, he walked up to the highest point on the mountain. The man stood on his tiptoes and with his finger poked a hole in the night sky. Light flickered out through the hole. The man poked holes all over the sky and punched a large hole in the sky to create a huge round light. This is how he created the stars and moons!

We then worked with our partner to create an imaginary way that we would create the stars and moon in the night sky. Brooke and Hunter would climb to the top of the highest mountain and use a magic pencil to poke holes in the sky to create the stars and moon. Jacob B and Gabby would jump out of a plane and poke holes in the sky as they flew. They would then have light to watch movies at night.
