four Oreos per student with top removed (students will only use the oreo with the cream side) one paper plate per student one circle die cut per student one plastic spoon per student markers or crayons glue stick poster with words to song paper with song/circles for phases http://tjramadan.talibiddeenjr.amanahwebs.com/05-recipes-ramadan-kids-ore-moon-phases.htm http://analyzer,depaul.edu/paperplate/Oreo Moon Phases.htm (this one shows the four phases only) four phases labels

Teacher sings following song to students. Remind students that their job is to listen and the teacher's job is to sing. Sung to "The Wheels on the Bus" I can name four phases of the moon, phases of the moon, phases of the moon I can name four phases of the moon: new, first, full, and last.
 * __ Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions: __**

__** Teachers/Students (With) actions **__: Students sing the song with the teacher and then identify the four phases they heard. They then will underline the names of the four phases on their paper. With the teacher, students will draw the phases in the four circles as modeled by the teacher. The students will then sing the song again with the teacher, but this time pointing to the picture of each phase when it is sung in the song. After singing, the teacher should model how to first color and paste the die cut circle in the middle of plate (this replaces the cupcake seen on the website) to represent the earth. Then the teacher will demonstrate how to use the spoon to scrape the frosting off of each Oreo using the pictures from the song as a model. (See website for visual aid)

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Students make their model of the four phases of the moon. They should refer to their song, the teacher's example, and the pictures drawn on their song page for help.

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
Students will put their song away and label the four phases taught on their oreos with the labels provided.
