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.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Debra A. says:  “This was my first research project with kindergarten and it was a huge success!  Thank you for creating such top quality, easy to use resources!  I will be adding other research projects next year.”
