All About Sloths – Nonfiction Informational Text Unit
Who can resist an adorable sloth? This nonfiction unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about sloths. I love to learn about sloths when we study the rainforest in the Spring. This All About Sloths unit includes a mini reader that will teach them all about sloths with a matching colorful book with real photos. This real book can be projected via the digital Google link, downloaded as a PowerPoint, or shared as a pdf. You could even print it and put it in your classroom library. There are so many fun comprehension activities to complete after you read the story. You could do the included research project, make the fun sloth craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become sloth experts.
