Amazing Animals!

Happy July everyone!  I have taken a small break from blogging in the month of June to take care of personal life.  I truly used June as a month to have a summer break and relax.

As I enter July, I have been working on some little projects and started with updating my Learning How to Research with Amazing Animals unit. It's still free and twice as big as before and FILLED with goodies to make research in Kindergarten fun and developmentally appropriate.

Take a look at this FREE fun:


This unit introduces making dioramas for animals after completing a Kinder-friendly research map.  The diorama also includes a rubric for students to know what things need to be added to the diorama. I also added labels for the 5 items on the rubric for the diorama.





 
 Now students can begin their non-fiction books about their animals.  I added first draft writing paper to this unit so students take ownership of the their work and edit it themselves.
This unit also has publishing paper and a table of contents for their book..



Here is a finished book form one of my cuties:

Speaking of animals...

I am off to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana next week for a mission trip.  I will be around so many animals and can't wait!
