Getting Ready for Valentine's Day!

Here we are making our Hearts to hold our Valentines!!! We're getting excited for our party this afternoon!!

...now you know why there are so many stars in the sky

Here's another Blog Worthy journal entry...enjoy!

Author: Number 2

In the beginning there was one tiny star that was as microscopic as an ant. He was very mournful because he was the only one in existence. When he got angry, he got bigger, and one day he got so ginormous he could not fit in his house any more. He got so enraged that he exploded into one-million little stars that were as shiny as a new quarter. Now he is joyful, and now you know why there are so many stars in the sky.

Questions:

1. What do you think a good name for the star would be? Why?

2. How many stars do you think there actually are in the sky?

3. Use clues from the story to find the meaning of ginormous, mournful, and enraged.

4. What do you think the main idea of this story is?

5. Contrast the way the star feels at the beginning to how it feels at the end.
