Presented by the University of South Carolina, here's nearly two dozen thematic units with everything from technology connections to teaching across the curriculum with themes such as Ancient Egypt, Insects, Rainforests, Transportation, and Westward Expansion. Wonderful stuff! I get really excited when I find sites like this. It was just what I looked for when I was teaching. And they blend well with the Sunshine State Standards.

This thematic teaching unit on turtles was designed for K-2 students. The lessons contain activities in Language Arts, Science, and Art. Turtle legends, life cycles, habitats, feeding and care are explored. There are web links and a slide presentation.
