M is for Moon

M is for Moon and reminds us that we are the light of the world! I really enjoyed the concept of this unit. The unit was about where the moon gets its light from; the sun. We are like the moon because we are to be a reflection of Jesus! We learned how the moon reflects off the sun by going into the bathroom and turning off the lights. We then took our dinosaur flashlight (the sun) and shined it into the mirror and the light that came off was the moon!

We then learned about the different phases of the moon and how the moon changes shape but is still the same moon. Sawyer really enjoyed this activity because I don't share my Oreos all the time! We also had a lot of fun learning and singing the song "This little light of mine."

Sawyer really loved learning about space shuttles. We watched videos on youtube.com of NASA shuttle launches; you should have seen his face!!!

Of course every little boy needs a space helmet to go to the moon and a space shuttle! I guess 4K is a lot of work for the Daddy's too!

We also made space shuttle that we could launch ourselves with a straw.
