Rachel Espinosa –
This is a wonderful resource for a research project. It helps students to break down the information that they need to research and focus on. It provides graphic organizers to organize and support their writing. It goes along perfectly with our first unit that we teach in the Benchmark Advance program for third grade. Carla always delivers with wonderful activities!

This was a fun way to learning about the different habitats that animals live in. The kids picked which one was their favorite to learn about it and present what they learned to the class.
