Good Morning,
  This week we started a science unit in the Earth, Moon, and Sun.  Today your child will be bringing home their science notebook.  It will be in their homework bag.  Over the next 4 weeks, I would like your child to observe the moon and draw what they see in their journal.  If need be, take a digital picture and have them do it during an earlier time the next day.  The idea is that they will see a few distinct phases of the moon and notice that the moon appears to change.  Below are the dates of major phases during this time period:
10/19  Crescent
10/12  1st Quarter
10/13  Half Moon
10/18  Full Moon
10/26  Last Quarter
10/20  Crescent

Here is a video explanation as well.


 *Please keep your child's science notebook in their homework bag.  We will need them for class during this time period as well.

I hope you have a great day.

Peace,
Tom
