What educators are saying
My students loved this resource. It was engaging. They were talking to each other about the reptile or the amphibian days after we had moved on from that particular one. Great resource.
We loved this product in our class! The pictures of the animals are bright and the kids really enjoyed seeing these at the science center! Thank you so much for this unit!
