GRADE 3 - ELA / READING/WRITING about MOON PHASES connect to SCIENCE

In the last few weeks, my 3rd grader studied the moon phases and vocabulary related to the topic.   We then read The Moon by Michael George and used many other book sources for information.

Here is a model of the phases she made out of Oreo Cookies.

She also constructed this model for further comprehension.

We also role played taking turns being the earth, rotating and orbiting the sun.   This made me DIZZY!

In the final lesson, she wrote an explanatory text about orbits and rotation.

She mapped out ideas using this umbrella template.

This is her final paragraph.

                   She is showing good understanding for vocabulary in this sample writing.
