Here's what others have to say about this resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students loved using this resource for their habitat projects. I really liked all of the different components that were included, it allowed me to pick and choose different resources that worked for my class needs. I will continue to use this year after year!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Wow, this unit is incredible! Anything you could want for a research unit is included here. My kids LOVED being in charge of teaching the class about the habitat their group researched. This is the most engaged they have been during our writing time all year……I have raved about this unit to my entire team and sent them all your way! Incredible resource for a first-year teacher who wasn't sure how to tackle teaching a research unit to 5-year-olds.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I used this product with my kindergarten class for their informational writing unit. They loved creating their own books and were proud that they could do so much on their own. We completed 1 page a day after doing some shared research on the animals. The results were amazing.”
