when we were teaching the kids about the lunar cycle they seemed really interested. when they came in the class they had no idea what a lunar cycle was. they thought that it was the moon changing into different shapes. the lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete. and there are 8 phases in the cycle.

hey. this week we are teaching the kids about the moon and the different phases it has. We also are teaching them about the solar system. By the time we leave the kids should have a good idea about the planets. Like how far the planets are away from one another, how many planets there are, and make sure they understand that pluto is not a plant and its a dwarf planet because it was too small to be labled as a planet. i think the best activity they did was the space probes. we let them build there own robot to go visit any planet they want execpt earth. they made there space probes out of recycled items, and you can tell that they enjoy building there own space probees. So far the kids are having fun and is understanding the information we are teaching them. I think they enjoy comming to our class everyday. They are excited and always asking what they are going to be doing next time they come.
