If you are planning an Arctic unit study I would venture to guess it is probably winter. This is a funny realization to me because while obviously Arctic animals are around all year, most of us find ourselves planning these unit studies when it is cold where we live. For us we set out on an Arctic unit study in January and February.

To begin our 3K year we blasted into space! I decided to start us with a planets, solar system, space unit. My son didn’t know much about space and I wasn’t sure how much of a hit it would be. It turned out to be a massive hit and now my son wants to read, learn, do everything to do with space. In this blog post I am going to share the space activities we did in our Montessori-inspired homeschool PreK.
