The book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, took us on a grand adventure to an imaginary world all drawn with a purple crayon. Many of the kids in class were familiar with the book and anxiously shouted out what would happen next. It was a delightful story time.
After discussing the characters, themes, setting, problems and solutions found in the story, we explored the amazing moon.
We learned how the moon is covered in craters. We even made craters in our flour moonscape using some asteroid golf balls.
Then we studied the phases of the moon (new, full, gibbous, half and crescent) and etched their shapes into oreo cookies! It was delicious learning.
Next week, we are going to recycle old crayons into something GREAT!
