Space Unit Introduction

Today I am so excited to be launching this at home Space Unit curriculum for 4-6 year olds! This is a play and exploration based curriculum that offers children the opportunities to learn through their 5 senses, ask questions, and dig deeper. Below you will see all of the goodies that are jam packed into this curriculum. I will be rolling out 2-3 lessons at a time. So feel free to follow along day-by-day or come back when the time feels right and get started on your own time table.

Space felt like such a fun topic to explore right now so I hope you and your kiddos are as inspired by it at home as I was while creating it.

Check out the next blog post for the first 3 lessons and a Play table. Also check out the printables blog post for all the digital files you'll need!
