The Moon & Stars

Since the moon is particularly bright and beautiful this time of year, last week we read about the moon and the stars! In Max and the Tag-Along Moon by Floyd Cooper, we read of Max, on his way home from his grandfather's house, watching the full moon from the car. Moongame by Frank Asch was about Bear playing hide-and-seek with the moon. Kitten, in Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes, thought the moon was a big bowl of milk and she went chasing after it! Our last book, The Moon Inside by Sandra Feder, was about Ella, who was afraid of the dark. 

We covered paper plates with aluminum foil to make a bright and shiny full moon (or a crescent!). Then we colored stars on both sides, then decorated them with tiny stars, shiny stars. We hung them from the moon after poking holes and threading yarn through them. Some of us gave the full moon a face!

We can hang these at home and see the "moon" all day long!
