Moon Phases with Oreo Cookies

What a fun time we had representing the 8 phases of the moon with Oreo cookies!  Each student got a pile of cookies and a cycle template and had to carve the cream filling to match these phases: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent.  The classroom smelled delightfully delicious and the learners were doing a great job staying focused in the face of sweet treats!
