TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heather D. says: “I used this unit in coordination with others as part of our PBL based Dinosuar museum project intergrating math, literacy, and science. The graphics were awesome and the materials perfectly paired.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rebecca M. says: “Thank you for taking time to make this resource! I am not sure who learned more.....the kids or myself! It was nice to have the same structure for each lesson. That helps make learning successful. Students knew exactly the questions I would ask at the end of our read a-louds to fill in our chart...”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jamie B. says: “My students loved using these resources. They found it highly engaging and loved learning about different dinosaurs every day. I loved how it worked on research skills as well as writing skills.”
