Newsletter (Astronomy)

Astronomy can be introduced in preschool as a preparation for the Great Lessons. In the first lesson, the universe's creation is introduced. Later, our solar system is introduced more fully. Many teachers introduce another story about our stars, including our sun  and the formation of galaxies. This includes constellations and their names. 

Constellations can be introduced to preschool children as a dot to dot activity. Older students can study star charts and observe constellations in the night sky without a telescope.

It is an excellent suggestion to include astronomy in primary educational system. But we have to make sure that the lessons are given in an interesting manner. The peculiarity of the subject is that it can be taught in interesting as well as un interesting way especially for small children.
