This bundle includes:

1. Space Tracing (L): I recommend printing these onto cardstock and laminating. Put them in your Language area with tracing paper and clips to hold the papers together. Provide markers for tracing on the lines. Consider a Sharpie marker and watercolor paints. You can also use these as coloring/painting sheets.

2. Space Shuttle Moveable Paper Craft (L): There are a few different ways to prep this activity. You can print onto cardstock and have available with scissors, crayons, and glue. Alternatively, you can use paper fasteners to attach the blast. Or you can print onto colored construction paper and have as a pin-poking work.

3. Planet Crowns (M): Color and cut planets. Offer strips of construction paper. Children glue planets on in order, staple the crown shut and have some wearable art!

4. Moon Cards and Counters (L): Print these moon and moon rocks onto cardstock, laminate, and cut for prolonged use. This adds a point of interest to your math area!

5. Solar System Orbit (M): Use this as a cut and paste activity or laminate/apply velcro and have children place planets on appropriate orbit.

6. Planet Missing Sounds (M): Dictate to student the name of each planet. Have them find the missing sounds and write them in. I like laminating and using a dry erase marker. Magic erasers clean them up!

7. Planet Syllables (M): Place clapping hands (1, 2, 3) at the top of your work. Show the picture and recite word to student. Have child clap out the syllables and place them under the correct amount.

8. Planet Scavenger Hunt (M): Hang large cards around your environment. Offer student sheet with clipboard and pencil. Have children find the cards around the room and copy the answer.

9. Space Addition (L): I recommend printing this file onto cardstock. I like to back the base sheet with sticky sheet cork and put a little hot glue on the backs of the stars to prevent them from scooting around. This can be used in a couple of different ways. Two children, who are practicing 1-1 correspondence, can use as a game by taking turns rolling a die and adding stars to space. Alternatively, children who are doing addition equations, can use the stars to find the answers.

10.Nebula Art Posters and Cards (L): Consider printing and laminating the posters to hang during your study and have the small cards nearby to match. Use these as conversation starters and art inspiration.

11. I Am An Astronaut (L): Put these ID badges on your shelf with a marker, hole punch, string.

12. Mr. Moon Poem Booklets (M): Have the master available for reference. I like to practice poems every day at circle! Children can illustrate this book themselves. To make booklets, cut covers out of construction paper at 4.25”x11”. Fold printed poem in half the short way, then in half again the opposite way to make a booklet. The first page is “Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon.” Use a booklet stapler to add the cover.

13. My Planet (L): Use this sheet to create your own class solar system. Wouldn’t it be a fun class book?
