I was able to incorporate this product seamlessly into my winter animals units. I loved the focus on main idea and details, the extension activities (hands-on), and the pre-learning component.

I look forward to the time of year when I can teach this unit in huge part BECAUSE of this unit. It is exceptional. It is definitely one of the best purchases I have made on TpT. This resource incorporates technology in support of student learning (rather than the simply incorporating tech so you can say you incorporate tech). The planning process is thorough and the suggestions are thoughtful and appropriate. I will continue to pull from this resource for years to come.
