WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Thank you for such a thorough product that made end of the year research easy and low prep! My students loved it!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My students LOVED our sharks vs. whales unit, largely thanks to this product. The pictures are very high quality and the high level vocabulary supported teaching LA through science. My students also loved being able to read the text on each page as a class, and then on their own in a printed copy. This is a fun, engaging way to start a class research project because of the vocabulary intro, but then allow students to dive in a little more on their own about sharks or whales with different resources. I use the animal classification section all year long, not just during this unit. This author always has high quality units - I have many!!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I loved using this with my kinders! It had great information, rigorous activities and left the kids wanting more! Wonderful!"
