This Animal Groups unit is all about teaching the 6 main different classifications of animals - insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals.
This unit includes:
*Lesson Plans
*Recommended books
*Cover Page titled "My Animal Book" to make if binding all unit materials into a book
*Original Emergent Reader that incorporates distinguishing characteristics of the different animals groups
*Half-size version of emergent reader
*Half-size of emergent reader without pictures for student illustration
*4 Venn Diagrams to compare/contrast different animal groups
*6 Label the Parts diagrams - one for each animal group
*Animal Investigations Organizer
*Animal Classifications Organizer
*Teacher Resource - filled out animal classifications organizers for all 6 animal groups
All pages are formatted to work together in a book if desired or to pull separately to teach different animal groups at different times.
I have updated it with additional book cover options and additional teacher notes.
This is a nice way to end my year as an extension from our field trip to the zoo. Great resources! Love the mini-book!

Very cute download...I love that she gave lesson suggestions as well as books to read. Also, I really enjoyed the craft section (we are trying to integrate our specialists into teaching some of the cirriculum, so this will be very helpful).

Children enjoyed the games, I liked the recording sheets!
This is super cute and well done. the only thing i didn't like is the fact that you say birds have hallow bones. i came from a nature center background and it is a huge misconception that bird bones are hallow. (they have bone marrow) their bones are just less dense. bones have a spongy type composition and a birds bones simply has more "holes" not a hallow at all.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. I have changed the word "hollow" to "spongy". Please re-download to get the change in the stories. I love science and this year started teaching 6-8th middle school science. I made the change after working with 2nd grade and under for many years. My first career was in architecture and I enjoy being full-time science. It was one of my favorite things to teach in first grade the last couple of years and I have a lot more science units I want to share for K-2 as well as older kids. I hope you like the revision.

I have bought several items off my home computer. I need to use the printer at school to save on ink. When I try to print the fonts are all jumbled. I would like to print off what I bought. Please respond as soon as possible.

Hello,
I bought your all about animal groups and love it. I am having problems printing the pages because of the fonts. I was wondering if you have it in a different font ?
Thanks,
Karri
I am in my 5th year of teaching and have taught K, 1st, 2nd, and middle school science. I love creating engaging units for teachers that are aligned with Common Core Standards.
