Moon Phase Booklet
This was a cute moon phases booklet that a teacher shared with me. She made it at a training and we were looking for the easiest way it could be done with her 80 fourth grade students (once we work it out I will post!).
I teach 4th grade in SC and have used sooo many of your great ideas this year. I always give you the credit and have pointed many to your blog! Thank you for taking the time to share with others. :)
I did it! I was thinking about it all summer, and finally put my brain to it. I think what I am going to do, is trace my book onto tag board for a pattern. I am going to make a pattern for each table (so about 5 patterns for 20 students). I am then going to have each student trace each page onto a big piece of black paper (if the patterns don't fit, the students will have more paper. After everyone is done tracing and cutting, we will put them together as a whole class. Then the students can glue the words in separately. This is the only way that I have come up with mass producing it.
I am actually going to be making these with a 4th grade class on Friday. I am cutting all of the circles now and stapling the books together. It is not bad once you get it going. Thanks for the idea.

Wow, this is great! Wish I had coome across this when we were doing moon phases a month or so ago. Going to bookmark it for next year!
Was wondering if you found an easy way to mass produce the books? LOVE the idea!
Jennifer - Sorry, not yet.I might take a look at it this summer to see how that might be done easily.
