Our Moon

We learned about the moon this week.   We started out with learning the moon phases and different shapes.  We learned what waxing and waning mean and put the phases in order. 

The next day we used oreos and they used little knives to carve out the different phases.  Freddie held his knife and ate oreos while Cedrik carved. :)  We also watched a couple of moon videos and Cedrik is very interested in craters now and what happens to the meteor after it crashes. 

Today we finished up with eating cheese and watching Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out (they go to the moon to get cheese! ).  They also made a moon craft out of shaving cream and glue-they loved how it felt.

Both the oreo and movie idea came from Adrienne-really happy they studied the moon before we did!
