Space Unit

I am BEYOND excited to share with you my newest TPT unit! This has been a HUGE work in progress since winter break with countless amounts of hours spent researching, writing, and creating an educational & meaningful space unit.

This comprehensive space unit is filled with tons of great resources you can use with your students. You need informational text passages on the planets? I got ya covered!
