My granddaughter, Kaitlin, is in the 2nd grade. She has been learning about the Solar System. Last week while she was visiting, Kaitlin and I put together this Solar System list of resources to help her study for her test on the Solar System. Since I am a teacher, I just had to include some Solar System teacher resources, too. We hope this helps you with your lessons on the Solar System and you get an A+ (100%), just like Kaitlin did!
