We are learning about the moon. and we did a project to show the moon phases. We took out Oreos and did a moon phases project! At school we got out Oreos and glued them on a paper plate with frosting! Yummy! We did it to learn more about the moon phases and the direction of the moon as it orbits the earth. It happened at school in the afternoon and we did a great job! The class did it together. It was really fun! We even got to eat 2-3 Oreos they were sooo good and yummy! We learned that the moon went in a counter clockwise rotation. And it starts out as a new moon then a waxing crescent then is the first quarter then the waxing gibbous then a full moon after it starts waning. Then it’s a waning gibbous after it’s the last quarter then the waning then it’s the waning crescent. It takes about month for the moon to orbit the earth and since there is no atmosphere to protect the moon like Earth, in the day it can reach up to about 100 degrees and at night it will drop down very very very low.
We will admit it that it was a little messy but also great fun. After the thrilling moments we licked the frosting from our fingers and ate Oreos while we cleaned up. The girls and boys bathroom was just as buzzing and busy as a beehive with everyone was busy washing up hands and using the bathroom. Our classroom sink was just as busy as a bunch of ants
in the middle of summer. As we cleaned up, lots of smiling faces were glimmering about everywhere and shining in the dark of Room 15 with lights off . The sight was magnificent
and gorgeous. It was so magnificent that we cleaned slowly. The beautiful smiling faces
were still there and the room slowly,slowly,slowly vanished out into the world as our
classroom slowly got clean again.
