Squirrels Nonfiction Unit
This nonfiction unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about squirrels and work on the reading informational text standards. I love to learn about squirrels in November when they are busy gathering all the acorns in our area. It includes a mini reader that will teach them all about squirrels 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 squirrel paper topper craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become squirrel experts.
