In first grade we are learning about the moon. I used April's packet from ChalkTalk at teacherspayteachers. She has some useful ideas for learning about the moon. We started our study by learning about the phases of the moon. We began by watching a Brain Pop Jr. video about the moon. I read the section of moon phases in the book Moon by Gail Gibbons.
Then we discussed the phases of the moon and created them together. Some children were asked to label the phases, others were asked to write them down.
Enjoy!
Great idea!
