I wish I had a whole packet of the ones I needed. I did look at getting the collection, but it didn't have the animals I needed.

My students love the informational reading and the note taking worksheets that go along with each animal. We use these to write our individual animal reports. Parents like them because all the information is in one source and they can easily help their children find the information needed to write a great report. We use parts of it as homework - the vocabulary sheets - to create a glossary for our report and the cut/paste to review what we have learned and make sure we did not miss any important information in our notes. Parents can help complete both of these at home and then we do the reading and note taking at school and eventually put all of it together to create a report.
