| Is the moon made of green cheese? Join us for this innovative program and find out the answer to this question. Using a spotlight to simulate the sun, students playact while they create the phases of the moon. After reading a story the participants make their own chart from new moon to full moon. The program culminates with making their favorite moon phases on cookies using vanilla icing, and then enjoying the consumption of their creation. |
