In Science, we have been discussing Space and Earth and exploring the differences in the day and night time sky. To wrap up our studies, the students took part in a tasty "cosmic" activity to create the different phases of the moon. We read "The Moon Journal" in class, which documented the different phases of the moon over the course of a month. The students learned what the moon looks like when it is a new moon, all the way through a full moon. We even learned new words such as "gibbous" and "waxing versus waning moons." One of our favorite new moon facts is that it is sometimes visible during the day. Our students have been on the lookout ever since! Ask your child what each phase of the moon looks like in the night time sky and you may want to even take a look for yourselves! Here is a glimpse of some of our "stars" enjoying their cosmic treat!
