This is great for read aloud warm ups before starting 1:1 middle grade(s) OG tutoring! I have a student who loves science & enjoys interesting facts about 'stuff' and definitely feels comfortable reading short blurbs aloud, especially when it is "sciency" :-) Thanks for this awesome resource! {as I post this comment, I noticed that you have a "Felicia" fan club today!}

I love the "Did You Know" facts, and love using them with my High School sped groups as discussion starters, writing prompts, etc. The possibilities are endless! However, I have just one request: In addition to the downloadable "posters", can you also make them available as just a words only fact sheet, with all facts fitting on 1-2 pages? Otherwise, I am discouraged from printing, as paper and ink/toner are too valuable. Thank you!

Thanks for the idea, Karen! We will try to remember to do that for the next set! :)

Thanks so much for the winter fun facts. One a day is read during morning announcements at my school. The fact about the tallest snowwoman prompted a class to look it up and found a video on YouTube. Keep them coming!
