Thank goodness it’s Friday!  We’re reading Moon, Earth’s Best Friend by Stacy McAnulty. Be sure to test when you're done reading/listening (link below). I always have them read a book three times before testing!

 
This nonfiction book about the moon is full of fun facts about the moon and its relationship with Earth.  Let’s have a little fun since it’s Friday.  We’re going to recreate the phases of the moon using Oreos.  If you don’t have any Oreos, don’t fret.  You can use circles of paper.  Picture and activity by https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com.


​Supplies:
8 Oreos (or cut out 8 circles about the size of an Oreo)
A paper plate (or piece of paper)
Something to write with
Something to scrape the cream off parts of the Oreos


Use the picture to create your own moon phase chart.  When you're done, you can snap a picture and email it to me at twiles@pearlk12.com!


 ** Extension Activity: Grab a glass of milk and enjoy eating your moon phases.
