Check out my recommendations for books to read with upper elementary students when teaching the sun, earth, and moon!

Trade books are always on my list of resources when I teach any science, social studies, or math unit. I wanted to save you some time browsing the shelves by sharing some of my favorite books to read with students when they’re learning about the sun, Earth, and moon. All of these are great additions to any astronomy unit in the upper elementary grades!
