The moon has been so irresistibly clear the past nights that I thought we just can't pass on this learning moment. So for the past few mornings, Sarah and Samuel has been coloring the moon in its different phases. It is not too accurate and I think we will standardize the circle in our next cycle. It was a great opportunity to teach them on the concept on months as well as the days of the week, the word "Moon" and the relation between Earth and Moon.
Sammy, "Mommy, why are there so many August?"
Mommy, "Haha...Sammy there are 31 Augusts because there are 31 days in a month".
While we are loving our moon observations, I was more excited to chart Sarah's progress in spelling and writing. On Aug 8th, she attempted to write "Moon" with my promptings. On Aug 9th, Sarah could spell and write Moon entirely on her own and her letters are now aligned in a row. On Aug 10th, Sarah did the same on her own.
It is really a blessing to be able to witness their learning and growth day by day.

Coincidentally, I have been cooking up a Moon Lapbook in my mind, because it started from teaching Hannah what a crescent moon is (on the Spore flag) plus yes, the very bright full moon recently.
Great minds think alike:))
