Masai and I unit study
- simply amazing!

We have this drawing book too...
To add a little fun to Taylor's math work we used animal crackers as her manipulatives...
Taylor's first "homework assignment" was to make a diorama of the savannah using 3D animals... such a fun project! (She needed a little help cutting out the background animals, grass, and trees.)

A sweet story about an elephant and a dog who are best friends...

Happy planning!

  1. Thanks for posting so many great resources. T is certainly having a wonderful time in first grade. I will post some pictures from our Safari Days Language Arts lessons at the end of the unit. Can't believe we will be moving on to our rain forest review next week!
