Celebrate Moon Day
Moon Day is Friday, July 20th
Here are some fun activities you can do to celebrate!
Moon over Manifest was the Newberry Award winning book for 2011 and would be a great book for older readers. It's a story about a girl trying to discover her true identity by visiting the town in which her father had lived once upon a time.
Astronomy
Draw pictures of the moon each night and discuss how it changes.
History
Read about Neil Armstrong and their first flight to the moon.

Music Appreciation:
Blue Moon - dare you show the scene from Grease?!?!
Moon River is probably one of my favorite songs out there!
Literature
Mooncake - this is one of my favorite children's books. I didn't even know real mooncake existed! So, after you read the book you can serve up a yummy dessert.
