Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Reptiles is a Full Unit. Our Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
What is this unit about? If you have an animal lover in your home, we have the perfect unit for you! Join us as we learn about the most wild, colorful, and interesting reptiles in the world—accompanied by daily geography lessons. Each day of the Teacher's Guide will introduce you to at least one new reptile and tell you all about its appearance, habitat, diet, and life cycle as well as many more interesting facts. We took a break from the color coding in these lessons because the information is fun and appropriate for all ages.
Students will be researching an assigned animal (research is given) or choosing a different one if they want. In fact, each student notebook has a different animal assignment, making it fun to redo year after year! With daily sketching or coloring, geography, science, and language arts, there is an entire world of connections to uncover through the lens of these cold-blooded reptilians.

What should I buy? You can purchase a leveled bundle with one student notebook of your choice and the Teacher's Guide, or the full family bundle that includes all levels with the Teacher's Guide. If you have more than one child you are buying for, it is more economical to get the full bundle to re-use in the future with your kids at older levels. All digital bundles come as an instant download in PDF format for you to print at home.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-6 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
Check out the Resources! Most of our units have a free resource page on our free app. These have video links for each lesson, a way to track what you have done, as well as suggested reading lists, PDF downloads, and more! Click on the button a little further down to see what we have for this unit
