Kindergarten Space Activities
Last week I led my students in learning about space. A few weeks back our Journey's theme was about what we can see in the sky. My students were very interested in reading about stars so I knew I had to do a study on space with them.
I won't go into too much detail because I'm short on time and don't want to bore you (I forgot to take pictures of most of their work so it would just be a lot of reading about our activities). I'll give a short recap of what we did.
Monday: KWL about astronauts, watched videos on YouTube about astronauts, and wrote about whether or not we would want to be an astronaut with a drawing of ourselves in space.
Tuesday: Learned some space vocabulary words from a Prezi I made, completed a space words syllable practice booklet together (a resource I found at Just Another Day in Mrs. Tabb's Class), and each student matched vocabulary words to pictures (found at the blog above also).
Wednesday: KWL about the moon, watched some songs about the moon on YouTube, made a moon phase viewfinder.
Thursday: Read Postcards from Pluto by Loreen Leedy, watched a song about the planets on YouTube, and made an accordion book of our solar system.
Friday: Watched The Magic School Bus: Space Adventures.
I made a packet of some space themed activities (some I didn't even do in the classroom this time around).
As always, let me know if there is anything you'd like me to add. I'll try my best to try and find the time :)

Here is what's included:
-2 sets of KWL charts. 1 set is more generic and the other set is good to use while teaching about the moon.
-"Would you want to be an astronaut?" writing paper and a separate sheet so students can draw themselves in space.
-Directions and graphics to make a moon phase viewfinder so your students can look at the moon and match it to the correct phase on their viewfinder.
-A mini booklet of space words for students to unscramble and glue together.
-Play dough sheets that you can laminate and have students mold dough into the words that match the pictures.

Right now I'm offering it for $4.50 in my TPT store but it will normally be priced $5.00. Check it out here.
