Today the 2nd graders learned all about the moon! They worked with teams to create an Earth/Moon double bubble map to compare and contrast the two celestial objects. Photos of these maps can be found on their Book Creator portfolios. We also read the book Moon! Earth's Best Friend, which was chock-full of moon facts and science. It even helped us to calculate how much we would weigh on the moon's surface! Most students in the class would only weight between 13-15 pounds.

We finished the day by working on teams to perform international moon myth skits from Peru, Mexico, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Australia, Polynesia, and China.
