Take a walk on the wild side with this Smart Charts unit about zoo animals. Use these zoo-themed graphic organizers to help your little monkeys classify, categorize, compare and contrast, describe, sequence and more! You'll find circle, brace, and tree charts for each of these animals: alligator, bear, elephant, giraffe, gorilla, hippo, lion, monkey, rhino, snake, tiger, zebra. Combine the brace charts to make a repetitive book. The tree charts come with trace, cut and paste facts about each animal. You'll go ape over the writing frames that correspond to the charts. What's new at the zoo? Smart Charts just for you!

I absolutely love all the smart charts! I love that you include so many levels of skills for the same chart. I can use each level of difficulty of the chart as my child grows in understanding. Each chart prepares the child by helping them to see how to best organize their thoughts and knowledge of a particular subject. I love that each level of chart improves upon the child's writing skills. I am incredibly impressed, and I have organized my whole year of themes based on the theme units you have available in your store. I teach my three and four year old at home, and I have been looking everywhere for something a little more advanced than shapes and colors. Your units are amazing, and my four year old is so ready to learn to write. He is going to love this unit. We have lots of days at the zoo planned where we will be sitting on the benches watching animals while filling out your beautiful smart charts! I am excited! Thanks for all your hard work and most of all thanks for sharing!
Wow. I am incredibly impressed with YOU. How many precious days you have ahead of you as you commit to spending quality time with your children teaching and learning each other! I stayed home with my preschooler and I am very grateful for the time we had together. Enjoy the zoo, the sun, the moments with your children! Jayne
