Classroom teachers are already loving this resource!
—–“This curriculum provides fun & interactive activities for my students. It also includes differentiated support for my small groups. I love all of the opportunities for learning!” – Melanie
—–“I am going to use this as a supplement along with my district’s curriculum. Our current curriculum spirals, but doesn’t give nearly enough lessons and activities for my students to gain a true understanding of a concept or skill. With this program, I will not only have additional activities for my students to use, but also lessons, hands-on and collaborative activities, and differentiation tasks for those that need intervention or extension on the skill. This is just what I needed!”- Taylor

I’m a homeschool mom to my daughter. She is 8, has autism, and is obsessed with animals. She may also have dyslexia and dysgraphia so she struggles with holding numbers in her head while doing addition and subtraction (and now we’ve started multiplication and is getting confused with addition 🙁 . I got this unit because I knew she would be all for it and I’m hoping it helps having the extra practice with animals 🙂 I love the strategy posters and we put those up on the wall right away and while she was doing her math she went over and used them and I asked her if they helped and she said yes! I have never seen a unit of any kind (math or LA) that is based around animals. So thank you!!

This is the best resource ever! I’m going to be leaving my school in December, and I am trying to be completely prepped and done with my lesson plans and printouts ASAP so I can focus on other things. This resource saved my life in math! I have SUCH a hard time planning math, and this was perfect to just print, a little prep, and be done! The slides are interactive and engaging, and my students love seeing the different habitats and environments. I only wish there was something like this for adding/subtracting within 10!
