Hedgehog Nonfiction Unit

This Hedgehog Nonfiction Unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about hedgehogs and work on the reading informational text standards. I love to learn about hedgehogs in late Fall and early winter as we discuss animals in winter and hibernation. It includes a mini reader that will teach them all about hedgehogs 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 a fun hedgehog craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become hedgehog experts.
