I've homeschooled my two girls since 2013. I also started a homeschool co-op with two other families in 2021. We've used many different types of curriculum, and I've learned a tremendous amount along the way. I'm happy to share my experience and knowledge however I can, and I love helping local families with their own homeschool journey. I've started to build a library of resources that I couldn't find in the world that have helped my family along the way and I'd love to share them with you.
I created this textbook to have an Elementary to Middle School comprehensive Zoology study book. It is not a full curriculum as I do not have a complete set of activities and assessments for it yet. I will be working on those and adding them to my account as soon as I can. There are many suggested activities from resources on the internet in the meantime. This text covers many topics from classification to habitats to adaptations. PLEASE NOTE: This text is written in an open-source font made for Dyslexia to make it easier to read for students with disabilities. I will be uploading a non-dyslexic font as well. See the preview to see how this looks before purchasing, please.
This is my first project like this, and I'm open to feedback and suggestions. I did my best not to copyright information or images, but please let me know if you see any issues in the text. Also, if you catch any spelling or grammar errors, please let me know so I can revise and update.

At last, weary traveler, you have emerged from the five chambers, your courage tested and your wits proven. Rest now, for the shadows have been tamed by your resolve.
