Eighth grade is a transitional year for students.  They are ready to be more independent, but still need guidance and support.  These materials will provide just that. Students will do an in-depth study of animals, create a portfolio of their learning, and be prepared for the high school transition of more independent work.
 
Lessons are easy to plan and prepare.  Each day students will complete different learning activities within these journals.  They can work independently, in a small group, or as a full class. Our journals are easy to adapt to the individual needs of each student as well.  An entire school year of creative and interactive learning ready to go for your classroom.
