Waning Gibbous

 
So these pictures don't capture the moon that we have had this week AT ALL.
 
We were driving to school earlier this week and princess M yells out, "Look at the full moon!  It is huge and orange!'  We tried for 2 days to get a great picture and this is as good as it got.  Then it turned out really small.  But it person it was HUGE.
 
Last month they both were learning about the moon cycle so every morning I would ask, "so if it was a new moon on Tuesday what does it make it today?"  Princess E promptly yells out "waning gibbous!  It's waxing gibbous before a new moon and waning after!"  To which princess M replied "so what we already learned that we don't have to know it anymore!"  Lol....
 
So glad they are learning something at school that has real life application. :)

  1. I love Maddies approach to school, it sounds like how I flew threw my degree with University of Phoenix online...there wasn't room for new learning, so something else had to go...haha. If you already learned it, it isn't important to know it...
