ReplyDeleteCrystal, I love this text set! Kids love learning about habitats! I remember making a desert habitat with my Kindergarten class and you would not believe how many kids that had never seen a cactus before!Great way to get some informational writing while learning new vocabulary that will help them when they get in 6th grade, as Kristen mentioned above. I will definitely steal some of this. :-) As always, wonderful job!
