Rationale

I plan to use this content wiki on the solar system, specifically stars, in my fourth grade classroom during the unit on space. I know that the planets are often covered extensively, but as a student I was always more curious about the stars. This text set will fulfill Georgia Performance Standard S1E1 parts a and c. I taught the lessons on stars in my last placement and I found that the students did not have enough time to truly dig into the information in 2 lessons. If I utilize this text set in my classroom my students will be sure to have more than a surface level understanding of stars. They will be able to make text to self, text to text, and text to world connects in relation to stars using this text set.
