Getting Ready to Go to the Zoo!

I don't know about you but before we go to the zoo we research, study and learn about those animals! But have you ever looked at those books in the library from a first graders point of view?

Now, the computer research is fun, pebble go, enchanted learning, our zoo web site and national geographic all have great information but we can't forget to show children how to use books too!

Here is a flip book you can use
to gather information for
each animal.

So I made some differentiated books for each animal we will research books for two levels in my class ( my one group can read the books). I also made a note taking flip book and matching writing paper for each animal.

I am so excited to start this research in a couple if weeks I couldn't help share what I had planned!
Below I will share one of my book sets on elephants just for my followers! Please if there is interest for more leave me some feedback and I will out them up in my                                   TPT store after I get the photographs for all of my animals.

Here is a page from my book showing
the two leveled text. Each book has text
features such as a Table of Contents,
bold words, and a Glossary too!

Here is one of the two pages
of paper

Spin a Coin

Need a differentiated way to reinforce coin values, coin names, or coin attributes? I just uploaded for only a $1.50 Spin a Coin! It has many uses and ways to differentiate with in your class.  Below is what you will get in the pack:

The pack comes with two spinners and four game boards. I have even included the fronts and backs of the coins as a choice! Just print, laminate and play.
