This resource has everything I needed. I specifically wanted something to deal with astronomy AND the literary elements of the book, and this is PERFECT! The package encompasses science, writing, reading, and social emotional learning. And each element has so many options within it to choose from so you can pick the best fit for your students. I love the vocabulary dice game! And the constellation myth writing project fit exactly into my unit. Thank you for creating such a thorough and engaging resource!
