  • Interactive Teaching Slides
  • 6 Differentiated ELA Centers
  • 6 Differentiated Math Centers
  • Color versions of class books
  • Starter prompts for "Create Your Own" class books
  • Tracing & Drawing Sheets
  • Little Moon Activity (A fun way to demonstrate the alignment of the sun, moon, and earth and to help students understand how the eclipse works.)
  • Solar Eclipse Craft (Color and Black & White versions)
  • Tube Viewer Detailed Instructions
  • Simple Viewer Instructions
  • Party Ideas
  • 4 versions of a letter to parents - EDITABLE
  • Masks for students to act out the events of a solar eclipse

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
