I love that it's differentiated! Very well planned and organized!
I do an animal research project with my kids each year and am always looking for a new twist to what I've done the year before. This would be great for the upcoming year!
Animals are interesting to almost all students. We do animal reports in 1st grade so this would be great. Thank you for offering this. dbednarsk@yahoo.com
Love this! My kids would love the fun animal pics and I love how approachable it is for them to do their own research.
My homeschooled daughter is crazy about animals! I take every opportunity to further her knowledge.
Thanks for the opportunity. thursdaytook@hotmail.com
I know my students would love this because we do an entire habitat/animal unit and they would love to show their learning in this format! Love this! rmitchell@asheboro.k12.nc.us
This is a wonderful idea! My kids would love this because they would love to research the different animals. This is a great way to meet those common core writing standards. :)
Our kiddos love learning about animals! This would fit in great!
My 2nd graders love animals. This would be a fun project for them to work on!!
Students just love animals and are so interested in them. I think this is such a great way to get them engaged, connected to common core standards and doing reports at a young age. This is such a great unit!!! Jennlz53@aol.com
I do a lot of science in my classroom. I have animals which I have purchased in jars and the students love them. We also had baby praying mantis ' one year and tadpoles. They were able to see the entire process unfold. They were amazed. I am sure they would love to use the research project.
My kids love animals and love non-fiction!! This would be so motivating for them to use!!
This would be great to hit those common core standards and have fun!
I'm still working on integrating research into my curriculum so this would be so helpful.
I know that my students would love these great formats. They would make it fun and easy.
My students will love this packet because they love animals and can independently complete a mini-project all by themselves! They are so cute!!
The adorable graphics alone will capture the attention of my kinders! :)
LOVE THIS!

I think the reports can be differentiated among the students, and they're common core aligned. vhair61215@gmaiil.com/aol.com
This is so cute! I love that it is differentiated!!!
I am new to common core and I know my students would love this. Last year my students loved non fiction so this would be perfect for them.

So perfect for the common core research standard! love it
Hi,
I teach K and in the spring we do a zoo report/project. This would be perfect. I am really interested in what you come up with for the other areas. Our kindergarten doesn't have a computer teacher so it is left up to the teacher. I am looking forward to what you come up with.
Thanks

I teach K and think this would be an outstanding unit in the spring. Goes perfect with my animal unit!

I am excited about this packet! We are doing 2 research projects this upcoming school year in first grade and one of those are on animals. I was freaking out a little but I think this pack will really help!
My kids would love this type of reseach project. They love animals and working on the computer.

Love this project! It would be a great project to add to this upcoming school year!
This would be so cute to go along with my animal unit. So excited!
My students would LOVE this. It would tie in nicely with our nonfiction reading units and be an awesome addition to our field trip to the zoo. Most of my students have never been to a zoo or seen wild animals so it's the highlight of the year for them, and even more fun for them to read/research these animals. What a great product!
I like they way you set this up! Cool!
I think my kids would like this because all 1st graders are interested in learning about animals. With this report they will feel like the "big" kids. This is so well organized!! Love it!! b822b@yahoo.com
This would go great with my animal unit!
I think my students would like the cute clip art and the ease of organization.
Oh, I would love to use this in the library with the kids. It looks wonderful, maybe I should just order as I am not very lucky.

This would be a great way to give my students a structure on how and what to look for and include in a research report!
All kids love animals and this packet provides a fun and inviting way to record their research results. I love the packet design. Also love the fact that there are 3 different templates to choose from.
Love this!

This pack looks great! This will be a great tie-in with our second reading unit, a non-fiction unit about animals. Awesome!
This pack looks great! I love that there are so many different animal choices so not all of my students would pick cat/dog! Thanks!! :)
I did some animal research last year, and my students loved it! This would be great to help organize their thinking.

Animals are so motivating for the little ones! I know they would love this.
This looks WONDERFUL Natalie! I am heading off to wish list it right now!

I teach ELL and this unit will allow me to do a fun research with all of my students, love the differentiation.
I would love to use this with my firsties!! :)
My students would love it because they love learning about animals. They are all fans of nonfiction but animals is by far the most popular subject. First graders also want to feel like big kids so they get very excited to do a "big kid" project like writing a research paper.

Animals is a favorite topic across the board, every year, AND how cool to use technology to research and publish! They would feel so grown up!

We do animal reports in the Winter. My students love them! This would help make it even better!
Boys and girls alike LOVE to read and learn about those adorable animals they love! Thanks for posting the 'do's and don'ts' of commenting! It really helps to see it from a seller's perspective... thanks for putting this together! Jen

Most of my boys love non-fiction and the girls love to draw, so everyone will be happy, especially with the differentiated templates. The pics are just too cute for the kids not to love it. thanks!
These animal reports are a great way to get started in learning to do reports. Love the great variety of animals and the differentiation!
Wow! As a newbie to 1st, a packet like this would be so exciting to use!! Rather than use the whole packet at once, students could coordinate and work together to pick a few animals during the seasons to research. This not only teaches them how to do research, review table of contents, and take notes but how to work together to create a finished piece! I am honestly just in LOVE with all of your stuff!!!! Ah!
I want this! It looks great!
This is so nice!
I love this unit and I think the kid would just love it!!! I work with children with autism and this would be perfect for them to use and learn about all the animals and practice their handwriting skills.
I would love to win this unit. I am moving from 2nd grade to 1st next year. This would be a lot of fun.
I would use it for science reports, and also for writing
Would love to have this unit! We spend a lot of time on non-fiction reading in my classroom. Animals is a favorite topic. This unit is PERFECT!!!
I think my little 2nd graders would REALLY benefit from such an engaging and appealing pack that encourages research skills. With the Common Core upon us, the rigor for nonfiction has increased a great deal.
Wonderful unit-thanks for the chance to win it and good luck to all!
Thanks for a great unit with specific differentiation and alignments, AND a chance to win!
Thanks for the opportunity. My students love learning about animals.
Any class I have ever worked with are fascinated with animals. Especially when they find out something slightly different that makes that animal unique.
My kids LOVED non-fiction book reports last years. I'd love these!

My kiddos LOVE learning about animals! We have a class set of iPads we can check out from the library and this would be a great tool to use!! Fingers crossed!!

Looks like a great way intergrate non fiction reading and with research.
Who doesn't love learning about animals!! I'll use these with my own kiddos at home ;)
Hi Natalie! I just stumbled across your page and noted that you're teaching computers soon. My hubby is a computer specialist at my school for grades k-7, and also leads a tech club for grades 4-7. He has tons of info about internet safety, typing programs, projects and the basic skills needed - if you need any tips we'd be happy to pass them along when the time comes.
Cheers!
:-)
