Our newest Webs to Whale Nature Tale

The Activities folder includes PDF files of 41 reproducible activities that supplement the interactive lessons, plus a glossary of terms. The activity pages can be reproduced for use by a parent or a classroom teacher. There are separate folders for math, reading, and science. Use these cross-curricular activities as part of a unit on whales. The activities correlate to state standards in reading and math, as well as science, for grades K-2.
