A little bit of this and a little bit of that...

We have been learning about the phases of the moon. 

We learned that the moon revolves around the Earth, while the Earth revolves around the sun. It seemed confusing until we acted it out. 

We also learned the length of time it takes the moon to rotate around the Earth (appx 27 days), and how long it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun (appx 1 year).

Coincidentally, our local library had a space camp program discussing the phases of the moon. They got to use oreos to demonstrate what the phases looked like. I think this is a project we should retry at home, to make sure the lesson really sinks in! ;)

Our Brave Writer book this month is How to Eat Fried Worms. 

Someone turned 7! Her request: green pancakes, bacon, and eggs for breakfast. 

 This is the birthday cake she asked for...

And in karate, the birthday kid gets to break a board. Here is her breaking her board!
