This week we are
studying space. I saw this great idea on pinterest
to talk about the phases of the moon using Oreos.
Unfortunately I didn't pin it at the time, so I have no link to give credit to. Sorry about that. Such
a yummy learning activity!
Here is the set up (below). During the tailend of snack, I talked with my fours about the moon. I showed them the pictures in this book and asked what they had observed about the moon. As we talked I opened a few Oreos and showed them how they could created a moon phase in their Oreo by scraping off part of the filling.
Here is one of my fours hard at work. The kiddos really did a great job at creating recognizable moon phases, better than I thought they would.
Once they had created a moon phase, they had to show me their creation and tell me which phase it was - and then they could gobble it up.
