Today in homeschool land we started to learn about the phases of the moon. A couple of days ago we started a moon observation log, but then moonrise shifted way past bedtime! Today we got out the sun, moon, earth model and turned off the lights to see the moon do its thing! Then we borrowed the moon phase three part cards from my preschool class and got to work making a moon phase map.
I even found a moon phase song on-line to help us remember the names of the 8 phases. I’ve had the tune stuck in my head for a few days now, but the rest of the gang was not impressed. I’ll have to try it out on the preschool crowd to see if they like it!
