Hello, Grade 2 space explorers! Today, let's uncover some fascinating facts about our friendly neighbor in the night sky – the moon!

Did you know that the moon is not made of cheese, as some stories say, but it's made of rocks and dust? It's a rocky world that travels around the Earth, and we see different parts of it each night.

Now, here's a fun fact: the moon doesn't have its own light. It reflects the sunlight, creating the gentle glow we see at night. And guess what? The moon can change shape! We call this the lunar cycle, where it goes from a big, round circle to a tiny sliver and back again.

So, Grade 2 friends, next time you look up at the moon, remember these cool facts and imagine the adventures happening on its rocky surface!
