To boldly go where no man has gone before... At least that's how I felt as I was introducing double-digit subtraction to my 2nd grader. We have leaped over the hurdle of being a reluctant reader and have soared right into devouring entire chapter books in one setting. Only to get knocked down at the sheer thought of subtraction. Since she is terrified of doing the problems in her math book, I decided to take it to a different level for her. This free printable solar system subtraction activity is perfect to use for a solar system theme or for any child who loves outer space more than they love math.

Hi Everyone! As elementary teachers, we have found that a favorite topic among our students is learning about the solar system!!! Kids love learning interesting facts about how the earth, moon, and other planets were created and all about what makes them unique! Our Solar System Unit takes all the headache out of planning engaging, informative lessons so that you can enjoy this unit with your class! Each of our bundles is well organized and jam-packed with engaging and easy to differentiate activities for your students. They each include 10 different units to teach your class about The Sun, The Moon, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Given the ever-changing nature of teaching today, we have updated our unit to be available in THREE DIFFERENT FORMATS! That means whether you’re teaching in-person, online, or a hybrid of the two, we got you covered! Check out the different elements below that are included in each bundle. Then, look for a link at the end to grab an exclusive FREEBIE that provides materials for multiple activities relating to one of these topics!!! Pocketbook Bundle With our Discovering the Solar System Pocketbook Unit, you will be able to seamlessly move through content with your students. As you move through the unit, each child will be able to create their own pocketbook portfolio to store their work. Students, parents, and administrators LOVE the impressive final product, and it will be a keepsake that they will be proud of and love to show off!! Check out the different elements below that are included in all 6 units. PowerPoint Presentations and Anchor Charts Each unit comes with its own PowerPoint Presentation and Anchor Chart. Grab the students’ attention by using our engaging presentation filled with colorful images and open-ended questions to get your class talking. Then use the Anchor Chart to create a display that will help your students recall facts about the unit. As the unit progresses, you can add to the anchor chart as a class! Student Workbooks This bundle includes 10 different student workbooks, 1 for each topic -- the Sun, the Moon, and all 8 planets. The workbooks are simple to put together. Just color print each page and staple the workbooks together for each student. If time allows, trim the edges to make the booklet smaller so it will fit nicely in each pocket. We love these workbooks because they are easy to use with students at all levels. You can have students independently read for information on the topic then answer comprehension questions related to the topic at the bottom of each page. If your students still need some support, they may benefit from working with a partner or small group. For students below level, you may choose to open the document onto a Smart Board and read along with them in a whole group setting. Vocabulary Cards, Puzzles, and Flip Books Building vocabulary is so important for our learners which is why we created THREE different vocabulary resources! You get vocabulary cards that you can print and laminate to serve as visuals for students to refer back to throughout the unit. Our Vocabulary Puzzle Pieces are great as centers, partner work, or even practice as homework. Once they’ve practiced their vocabulary, let students demonstrate their knowledge of key vocabulary words using the interactive vocabulary flipbook. Graphic organizers and writing paper Students complete the graphic organizer either as an independent or whole group activity to demonstrate their knowledge of the topic, writing multiple key details and facts. Then, students can use the graphic organizers as a reference to create a longer writing piece, consisting of multiple paragraphs. We’ve included 2 options for handwriting lines to easily differentiate student needs. Supplemental Pages and Early Finisher Work Multiple activities are included to supplement the content learned through the student comprehension workbooks and the PowerPoint presentation. Activities can be used for morning work, early finishers, or homework. Activities include: ABC order, a crossword puzzle, acrostic poem, and word search. How to assemble the pocketbooks Instructions for creating the pocketbook are included in your download. They are really easy to make! All you need is a binding machine (most schools already have one), binding combs, and construction paper. If your school doesn't have a binding machine you can use, we like this binding machine. It is a great deal and comes along with 100 binding combs! When your binding combs run out, grab our favorite ones here. *Affiliate links included Digital Bundle Our Solar System Digital Bundle includes the same exciting topics as our Pocketbook Bundle designed for Distance Learning.

Hello, hello, and welcome to part 4 of my 10 part series, Blog Backlog: Playing Catch Up! I'm really enjoying getting to share some blog worthy things from the last month or two of school. Today I'm sharing a simple, yet easy, meaningful, and fun science activity. My favorite science topic in 5th grade is SPACE! Here I am modeling wearing my planets t-shirt that I bought just for teaching this subject! I was super lucky to be placed with an amazing intern this semester - she's going to be an awesome teacher soon - and she took the class outside to play with toilet paper. Well, actually, there was a scientific purpose. She had groups of students roll out the toiler paper and place a cut-out of each planet at their scaled distance from the sun. It really helped the kids get an idea how far the planets are from each other. Unfortunately, with all of the things that happen in our final quarter, sometimes there just isn't enough time to do as many in-depth activities in science that I would like. I needed a quick and meaningful way for my kiddos to get to know our Solar System. So, I came up with these simple Solar System Posters. I had the students take a sheet of 17" x 22" copy paper and fold it in half lengthwise (hot dog style!) They opened it up and cut along the crease to create two long pieces of paper. They then glued these together with about an inch or two of overlap to make an even longer paper. Next, we folded this to create 12 sections... so we folded it in half, then in thirds, then in half again. Then students labeled each section... * Sun * Mercury * Venus * Earth * Mars * Asteroid Belt * Jupiter * Saturn * Uranus * Neptune * Pluto * Our Solar System Students used their science books to research each section of the solar system. As you can tell, the focus wasn't on just the planets, we included the sun, asteroid belt, and our dwarf planet friend Pluto! In each of the sections the students wrote at least three important facts about that part of the solar system and included a colored illustration. I absolutely loved their illustrations and they looked great hanging on the wall in our room. I find that some of the best and most meaningful activities are projects where students get to complete their own research and use their own creativity. I hope you enjoyed part 4 of my 10 part series, part 5 will be up soon!
