Modifications: Depending on grade level and ability of students have patterns available, star stickers, and talk about attributes of stars (how many vertices, etc.)
Materials: book Stars, paper, pencils, star patterns, colors, star stickers, scissors and (optional: glitter, glue, paint, foil to decorate stars)
