Hi Brenda,
In October this year the Moon has the following phases:
Oct 2: NEW, 10: 1st Quarter, 17: FULL , 24: 3rd Quarter
so it will be visible in the afternoons during Space Week, as a tiny sliver at the start of the Space Week to beautifully placed low in the late afternoon sky by the end of Space Week.
If you wanted to view the Moon in the morning sky, then wait another two weeks to catch it at 3rd quarter.
As noted in some other responses, phases of the Moon is not part of the primary curriculum, so we recommend treating the changing appearance of the Moon as an example of shadows across a 3-D object, in essence that night on the Moon is because the Moon is solid (much as night on the Earth is because the Earth is solid and only one side can be lit at a time).
