Third graders are learning about the phases of the moon within our unit on the solar system. After reading and describing each phase in a 29 day cycle, students were asked to recreate the phases on a paper plate. Once the phases were correctly diagrammed and labeled, mini Oreos were handed out. Third graders found great inspiration in this medium and quickly recreated each phase. From the new moon to waxing and waning gibbous, our third graders can now explain them all!
