Thank you for creating this for young elementary aged students. I plan to use your unit this spring and summer with my eight year old daughter, who is really into animal classification. After she completes these activities, I will be interested in a third/fourth grade level about animal biology, so I will definitely search this great site!

Thorough document with many options. External parts of the vertebrate classes could include more arrows for more specificity (e.g., dorsal fin, pectoral fin, etc. for fish; carapace, plastron, etc. for reptile).

I wish I could give this an A+. I am about to start teaching a special ed class tomorrow and was looking for some hands on material I could incorporate in the unit on animals. Lets just say that I found it for a low cost (not to mention the time you have just saved me). I cannot thank you enough for sharing the hard work and dedication you put into making this! Cheers :)

Hi there.
I am a homeschool mom and I am interested in buying the Animal Classes: A Literacy & Science Cross-Curricular Unit and I noticed there were some work pages that listed "always, never, sometimes" and I was wondering if there was an answer key or a teachers guide that would give the lists you used with your students so that I know what animal characteristics to focus on with this curriculum.
I love this package by the way!

Hi, Rebekah, Sorry for the delay in answering you! This item was designed as a supplementary resource. The pages that you mentioned are a graphic organizer called a brace map. The answers for these are open-ended, depending on what facts you have taught your children, which of course would vary with the curriculum you are using. Because of this, there is no answer key provided. This kind of activity is good for teaching children to organize information, form generalizations, and synthesize information. Hope this helps! :)Linda

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
Subject Area:
I've been teaching for 26 years, with the majority of my experience being in first grade. I taught Reading Recovery for 5 years, and that experience has impacted every day of my teaching since! For the past 10 years, I've enjoyed teaching a first grade literacy intervention class. It has also been my privilege to present various workshops on literacy topics at the local, state, and national level. My goal is to ignite a passion for reading and writing in young learners.
