Tomorrow I am teaching my first science lesson..ever! Now I have never been a science kind of girl, but I am really excited to teach the phases of the moon to my first graders. We are going to be using Oreo cookies to demonstrate the different shapes the moon makes in the sky. Now we aren't getting technical, no need to confuse those little guys, but I really think its going to be a great hands on activity for them. I mean, who can go wrong with kids & Oreos?! As an extension for the kids I am asking them to really look in the sky that night and the nights in the future & think back to the shapes that we created with the cookies. There are also a lot of children's books that talk about the moon and the different shapes that it makes. I really think this is a cool subject to teach students at a young age because it introduces them to a bigger picture other than just our world. I am hoping to be able to take some pictures of their finished products and add them to the blog, fingers crossed!
Until Later,
Amanda
