Featuring a collection of your favorite rainforest animals - the sloth, butterfly, hummingbird, parrot, jaguar, tree frog, tapir, and capybara - each book promises a rich and engaging learning experience.
Tiered Supports for Every Learner: Our Interactive Adaptive Books are thoughtfully crafted to accommodate learners of all levels. Each book is structured with tiered supports, ensuring that every reader, from beginners to more advanced learners, can find their perfect level of engagement. This approach fosters inclusivity and provides an opportunity for learners to progress at their own pace.
Book 1 - Exploring the Rainforest Animals: This book is not adaptive however as you turn the pages, you'll discover captivating details about the animals that call the rainforest home. With each page, young readers will expand their knowledge and appreciation for these incredible creatures.
Book 2 - Interactive Comprehension: This book contains 8 icons, colorful pages with simple sentences including animals and their action. Example: I see a tapir rooting for food.
Book 3 - Visual Support & Statements: In this version, the focus is on visual learning and language development. The book contains a selection of 8 color icons representing the rainforest animals. The low-ink design ensures easy and economical printing. Every page features both a visually appealing icon and an "I see" statement, encouraging readers to connect the visuals with the corresponding animals. This book is an ideal resource for fostering early language skills while immersing children in the beauty of the rainforest.
Book 4 - Developing Independence: This book contains 8 color icons which students will match to the "I see" statement on each page. No visual supports are provided for this book which is an excellent way to determine if students recognize the animals without extra support. I have used low ink for quick and easy printing.

Once assembled, these versatile resources can be used year after year, making learning about rainforest animals a timeless adventure.

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a geologist mining in a city in Arkansas that is rumored to be full of rare gems that would make the finder rich!
Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.
How It Works:
Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the having failed to find any precious gems. However, completing the mission means students will become a legendary gem hunter and have mined enough gems to become rich!
What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:
Ideal for Different Learning Styles
Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the science background on soils, rocks and landforms.
Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about soil, weathering (chemical and physical), erosion, deposition, fossils, types of landforms and how they are created.
This Soils, Rocks and Landforms Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of science while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the search for the rare gems into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.
