Upon entering the room, you notice the constellations moving slowly, though considerably faster than they actually would, throughout the room. There are huge pillows on countertops, but that's where they stay unless Professor Belle tells you otherwise.
On Prof. Belle's desk is a pot of tea, still upon a small fire to keep it at a pleasant temperature through the class period, and a tray of cookies of several varieties. Sitting imperiously on Prof. Belle's desk is her cat, Cepheus.

Sean raised his hand and said, "Well, the face is the part we can see and it has light and dark patches."

Jay thought for a moment "Let me further explain my answer. We can only see one side of the moon, the face. And when different shadows are casted upon it, the moon looks differnt, the phases." she said.

Amie raised her hand
"What that means is that there are many different type of phases for the moon, but we could only see one side of the moon. There are phases but we don't take the time to notice it, because the moon looks almost the same every night" Amie answered

"Is it because while time changes on earth, and the sun rises and sets, it shows different faces?" Mayura asked raising her hand.

Josey raised her hand. She said, "Phases describe the light and dark, meaning the different amounts of light reflected off the moon that we see. Faces, on the other hand, is the actual moon. We only see one face of the moon because the moon rotates at the same rate as it revolves."

Serena's hand shot up. "That would be the First Quarter Moon, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent."

Amie raised her hand once again.
"The other different phases of the moons are Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent" Amie said feeling quite proud of herself.

Said racheya uncertainly raising her hand. "Nice try, Racheya, 1 point.
"Now, each of these 'rise' and 'set' at different times. Who can tell me when the first quarter moon.....rises?"

Sitting back down in her chair, she gently set the ball down on her desk, making sure it wouldn't roll off and break. Running through the phases of the moon in her head, she counted them off on her fingers. Listening to her other classmates, she smiled as she figured that she had gotten most of them. Writing the ones down that she missed, she redirected her attention to her teacher. Hearing the new question, she spoke up from the back of the room. "The first quarter moon rises when its 3/4 of the way around the sky from the New Moon." She said, trying to remember exactly what she had learned last year. It seemed to be something like this.

Serena beamed at the gain of points and raised her hand again. "I do believe it rises about noon."

"Who can tell me when the waning Crescent sets?"
