Moon Phases

What's a better way to learn the phases of the moon than with Bloomeos cream filled cookies?

Mazel third thru sixth graders reviewed the relationship between the tides and the moon by using Bloomeos cookes. The moon has eight different phases which the students replicated by removing parts of the cream on the cookie. They were then asked to put the moon phases in the correct order. As a result, these students learned how to determine if the moon is Waxing, getting bigger, or Waning, getting smaller. 

So encourage your kids to step outside tonight and try to identify the phase of the moon!
