Rachel Lamb thank you for making mealworms look as cute as I think they are. My students warm up to our unit a little quicker because of these cutesy sheets that teach us so much about mealworms.

It looks great and I'm excited to use it. However, with a Mac you can open it but not see the print.

I can't wait to use this unit. Mealworms were added to our curriculum last year, but the resources provided were terrible. After finding this unit, I'm looking forward to teaching the students about Mealworms. Now if you only had something similar for Silkworms, Milkweed Bugs and Brassica Seeds, I'd be forever grateful :-)

We "grew" mealworms last year to observe their lifecycle. I am so excited to add your ideas to our project this year. This lesson packet has so many great bulletin board ideas and organizers. I love the booklet too! Thank you so much!

Hi Rachel,
Thanks so much for creating this unit. I am a resident teacher and plan on incorporating some of the work in my takeover week! There seems to be an error when I open a few pages as a PDF as some of the words are blurred lines (e.g. contents page of the mini book, e.g. page two of the mealworms on parade TOU).
Has this been a common problem?
Thanks so much for your help,
Josh Armentrout

Hey Josh,
This is "usually" due to opening in Preview on a Mac rather than downloading OR not have the most updated Adobe. If you've double checked those, shoot me an email at rachel.lamb81 @gmail.com
