Eliana's mom, Amy, planned some very engaging and fun activities for the Levana class, as we explored the moon. The moon is a topic close to our hearts, as our class name, Levana, is the lovely and poetic Hebrew word for moon. We began the morning by reading one of our favorite books, Goodnight Moon. Amy brought many copies so that the children could read along in their own books.
We also learned some new words to describe the phases of the moon, and had lots of time to color and draw our own moons. These included full, half, and crescent moons. Elias is reading one of the non-fiction books that Amy brought; these included interesting information about space travel and gave us another way to look at the moon. We were able to engage all of our senses in this moon fun, as we even made moon biscuits which we sprinkled with cinnamon, baked, and devoured for snack. Thanks, Amy, for visiting and bringing your ideas and imagination to our play today.
Thanks for inviting me to share the morning. I loved spending time in the Levana classroom with all of you! It was a lot of fun and a very special time for both myself and Eliana :) It was so nice to be with the whole class and see what a morning is like in the classroom.
