About the Crescent moon

A crescent moon is the thin, curved sliver of the moon we see in the night sky. As the moon circles Earth, sunlight lights up only part of it at a time, and the crescent is when just a slim edge shows. Night by night, that lit part grows or shrinks. Print this for a phases-of-the-moon lesson and trace the curved sliver.
