Moon Phases Grade 1 and 6

One glorious thing about homeschooling is when you can combine the grades into one lesson. Trinity grade 1 and Alex grade 6 started studying the moon at the same time.

I found a great book to help Trinity with this...FACES OF THE MOON

It separated the phases and gave a picture of each and it even had a tab index along the right side with picture of the moon.

Trinity Cut out black and white paper in the phases and I wrote the phases on each...

And we hung it in the school room above the door...

Alex had to dig a little deeper we found quite a bit of information on the Internet to help us with his Moon Calendar.
