Space “I Can” Cards

Outer space is a more abstract theme since none of your students have actually been there before. For this reason, it’s important to give your students examples of what roles and duties astronauts and engineers may have. Use the “I Can” cards or posters included to keep your kids focused and on-task in the dramatic play space center. You can display these as posters, or place them in a pocket chart.
