What educators are saying
We have a bee unit at my school and even have the "bee lady" come talk to our 1st graders. This was a great addition to the unit.
Perfect resource and activity for reading about the life cycle of plants and animals. I love that this comes with a template foldable and reading about each stage of the lifecycle. Thank you!
