The solar eclipse has sparked much interest for my students in our planet, the sun, and the moon! What an incredible opportunity for us to help our students learn about the Earth, ways to take care of it, and Space! Earth Day is right around the corner! What perfect timing! Often, this topic is complicated for younger students to understand. I have created several products to help you explain them in a simple and fun way! These resources are interactive, engaging, and academic. Scroll down to the bottom to access a freebie of one of the Earth Day sorts to help you decide if any of these might be helpful for your own classrooms.
