Jaguar Close Read {Giveaway}

Continuing on with my close read series, here is my Jaguar Close Read… I have to say while creating this pack, I actually learned A LOT!  Like, how can you tell the difference between a leopard and a jaguar's spots?  Or did you know that jaguars are one of the few cats that like to swim…they actually swim a lot!  Your students will love to learn all about jaguars (like I did) using this pack!
 You can find it {HERE} on TpT

I've been pretty busy with brochures and working in my classroom…
I will give you a hint of something I am working on:

You can leave a comment below for a chance to win my new Jaguar Close Read and have a GREAT Saturday!  I only have a little more than a week left of my summer!!!  It's getting close!
