How Far Away Is That Full Moon? #ClassroomConnections

March 24, 2021 By Laura

A full moon’s coming up on March 28 (the Worm Moon). Here’s a great STEM activity (math model) for your students if you’re teaching in person. It’s from the teaching guide to If You Were the Moon.

This is one of loads of activities (across many content areas) in the guide that Randi Sonenshine created. Just download the guide and check out pages 19-20 for the step-by-step directions.

Happy moon-gazing!

[My Classroom Connections posts share a way to connect one of my books or poems to a classroom topic–often something timely that you might be covering in the next month or so. Please share this post if you have educator friends who might be interested–thanks!]

MAY NEWS

All 3 of my 2023 books are out now! Thank you to everyone who's celebrated with me, shared the books, or read/reviewed them. <3

Right now, I'm recovering from National Poetry Month! I'm also working on 2 tricky picture book revisions, and I'm preparing for a bunch of speaking events and storytimes! Join Yvonne Pearson and I for two loon-themed outdoor storytimes on June 6 and August 1. And on July 14, I'll be storying up a storm at Robert Trail Library! Hope to see you there!
