TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Samantha W: My students absolutely LOVED this zoo project. They had so much fun working together to design a zoo. It worked well with distancing as each student in the group could focus on a different part. They enjoyed seeing the final project come together!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Melinda A: This was a fun activity to supplement before a break. It was a fun activity and a nice break from the regular math book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Sharon M: I've used this twice at the end of the year and I am amazed how each group takes so much time planning, assigning responsibilities, designing, and working towards completion.
