I had a blast the other day teaching my youngsters about the moon & using cookies to do it!
We did each phase one at a time licking the frosting from the cookies & made the cookies stick with chocolate frosting--they might have liked that better than the cookies. Once we got them stuck on their plate we went around & review each shape.
I was fortunate enough to allow them to take them home in plastic baggies to help them remember the shapes of the moon.
It took a lot of planning & supplies, but I knew it was better to have extra than not enough. I would definitely do this in my own classroom because it seemed to be effective & there are so many ideas that can branch from this.
We had them write 5 sentences in their journal about what they learned about the moon & the shapes they made. It was a great way for them to reflect.
Overall it was a huge success & the kids "ate" it up!!
