Recommendations for Printing the Books

Sally and Timmy Go Camping

Exploring the Forest with Sally and Timmy

Learning About Scientists

1. Print the pages of the book on heavy paper (cover stock).

2. Place in clear plastic protector sleeves.

3. Place in a 1” ring binder.

Recommendations for Printing the Units

The curriculum units should be printed in landscape mode (horizontally). If available, use three-hole punched paper. Print the binder covers and binder spines in color, and insert into a 3” ring binder. The handouts and supplementary materials vary in orientation. One 3” ring binder will hold the three units and supplementary materials for one grade level.

Picture sets should be printed on heavy paper (cover stock) and may be placed in plastic sleeves for protection. If desired, picture sets may be presented electronically to the class using either a computer projection system or a large monitor.
