Differentiation
Modifications
If it is difficult for parents to record the observations with their children throughout the month, you could opt to send the recording sheet home to different families each night and ask students to present their observations the following day to the class. Another alternative would be for you to take photographs of the moon each night, show the class and record the observations. You could also look for the phase of the moon online e.g. https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/
