Moon Phases

We've had a lot of fun learning about moon phases, the sun, and how the sun's light reflects off of the moon. I hope you are recording what the moon looks like each day in the Moon Phases Observation Journal. So far we should have at least five days recorded. Today we created the moon phases of Oreo cookie cream! It was messy, and fun, and we had a lot of sugar. Check out the pictures of our relection investigations and frosting phases.
