We've taken this high-interest topic and pulled together some amazing teaching resources for grades 2-5 — starting with this printable pet report flip book! We recommend having students take notes and then create a draft before using the template for their final copy. Each flap will focus on a different aspect of pets: appearance, habitat and home setup, diet and feeding, care and exercise, and fun facts. Students will answer questions on each page and draw or paste a visual that connects to the text. To assemble, students cut and stack the pages in order, then attach them at the top with staples.
