Day and Night Sky, Sun, Moon, and Shadows Circle Time Songs and Rhymes

Rise and shine and learn about Day, Night, Sun, Moon, and Shadows with these circle time songs (sung to familiar tunes) and original poems, chants, and rhymes! Students stay engaged while singing, and they'll be learning new information, too. This resource begins with what can be seen in the sky during the day and at night. Included is an eye safety song about not looking directly at the sun and that the sun is Earth's closest star. Songs also cover how the moon changes shape every month and what it's made of...not cheese! Finally, this resource ends with three songs that take a peak at shadows, including one about Ground Hog's Day.

*Note: This resource is developmentally appropriate for the youngest learners. Earth's rotation around the sun is minimally included in this unit.
