Lions Nonfiction Unit
This nonfiction unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about lions and work on the reading informational text standards. I love to learn about lions in March as we discuss that March comes in like a lion. I also enjoy using this lions nonfiction unit along with my mammal unit in the Spring. This unit includes a mini reader that will teach them all about lions 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 lion craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become lion experts.
