Learning in Pink –
I loved using this as an end of the year project for my students. The packet included a lot of different sheets, so I was unable to do all of them with my students. The students loved the activities they were able to complete!

I know it is for grade one, but I used with my twos. I was looking for a problem that they could probably do independently. This did not disappoint! I also used it as a chance to introduce habitats, which, later in the year, led us into animal research project. This is a great project!!
Dots Of Luv –
My students really enjoyed this project-based activity. I paired them up into groups to complete the activity. This is a great resource for end-of-year (1st grader) to review previously learned skills. It would also be a great early finisher activity.

My students were so excited, I had to have them calm down and listen! They LOVED every step of creating their own zoo. Students were engaged in measuring, calculating larger numbers, and really thinking and problem solving. Thank you!

This resource has been wonderful for my 1st grade enrichment group. There are so many higher level problem solving activities for my students to solve. It is wonderful to see the excitement on their faces as I meet with them once a week.
