It fit in will with the First Great Lesson which sparked the astronomy bug. My kids go to bed around 7:00 and rarely saw the night sky in primary! Talk about "only doing what was observable"...they had very little idea what the night sky looked like! <br /><br />Kal-El and I have made a couple of trips to the observatory and as you suggested, used THEIR equipment. We pick at it as his interest comes and goes. Again, when he is older I think he will SEE the night sky more frequently, LOL.<br /><br />Okay, every time I look in your sidebar you have another blog I didn't know about. I don't know what to call it, but I think you have a problem :)<br /><br />Love Dr. Nebel :)<br /><br />Excited to check out the book list deeper.<br /><br />Frankly, there is so MUCH to do every day and SO MUCH they are interested in it is a relief that Astronomy can wait.My Boys' Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814627526655717162noreply@blogger.com
