Talking Points

• Today we are going to learn about a special full moon called the strawberry moon.
• "The strawberry moon is a full moon that appears in June, and it gets its name from the Native American tribes who used it as a sign to start picking strawberries."
• Full moons are when the moon looks like a big circle in the sky.
• "Let's draw our own strawberry moon picture with red strawberries around it."
• "Remember, the moon doesn't make its own light; it reflects the light of the sun."
