Phases Of The Moon

A few weeks ago at school they had the Scitech Star Dome come to visit. It wasn't a Kindy day for Will but the kids from his group were allowed to go and join the red group class specifically for the visit. I picked him up after and we went and looked at the dome from the outside and talked about what he had done and seen all the way home. We even wrote it up as a story for his school book. It was a great tie in for the activity I had already planned for that day. 

The foam paintings we did a few weeks earlier and a great texture and looked a lot like the moon. Will is seriously into the moon and tracks it's phases on our Moon Calendar.  So we talked about the phases and how the moon looked and drew these on the back of our foam art. Will cut them out.


 

Stuck them down and then added some star stickers to complete the look. We added an explanation about how the suns light shines on the moon. I added the title and the names and we called it done.
