Moon Journal

I took this picture this summer of a full moon. For the month of October, we are keeping moon journals. Students got calendars on Sept. 30th so they'd be ready for Oct. 1st. Each day they have to look for the moon and draw what they see onto the calendar. Then they circle a.m. or p.m. to indicate whether they saw the moon in the morning or at night. If they can't see the moon because of cloud cover, or they just can't find it, then they are to make their best guess as to what it looks like. This homework assignment is to get us thinking about the moon and its different shapes.
