Interesting title to today’s blog post, I know. However, it deals with what we were learning about in Science today. We were talking about how the constellations were created by humans to help them become familiar with the night sky. Just like we look at clouds and imagine shapes, figures and animals from them, humans, over the ages, have shaped stars into patterns to help locate, guide and make the unfamiliar into the familiar. Though most of these stories and shapes of constellation came from the Greeks and Romans, the First Nations also had their own legends. Today, the students heard the story of how stars were put into the sky and how coyote was not able to finish his constellation because of his selfish behaviour. It was a very neat story and it was nice for students to hear a different perspective from our native canadian heritage.
