Take a walk on the wild side with this Smart Charts unit about zoo animals. Use these zoo-themed visual tools to help your little monkeys classify, categorize, compare and contrast, describe, sequence and more! You’ll find circle, brace, and tree charts for each of these animals: alligator, bear, elephant, giraffe, gorilla, hippo, lion, monkey, rhino, snake, tiger, zebra. Combine the brace charts to make a repetitive book. The tree charts come with trace, cut and paste facts about each animal. You’ll go ape over the writing frames that correspond to the charts. What’s new at the zoo? Smart Charts just for you!
