This group of animals is HUGE! There are over 5,000 different mammals in our world.
THAT'S A LOT OF MAMMALS!!
Students love learning about animals and as an educator I find they are perfect to use as a springboard for teaching key standards.
This packet on mammals begins with a poster sharing the characteristics of mammals.
There are also 8 vocabulary cards key to this study.
You will also find a KWL chart to gather prior knowledge.
I have provided two different forms of assessment as well as a mini book with informational text about mammals.
Because each child has their own book they can highlight key facts and vocabulary and then use these to gather information.
And let's follow that with a writing lesson using the graphic organizer shown on the previous slide.
Word work is plentiful and perfect for your literacy center.
There are 24 real life pictures of mammals. I have provided a group discussion sheet for your class to compare and contrast the different mammals.
Finally you will get your class reporting on a mammal of their choice.
All tools from finding resources, gathering information and writing the report are available in this packet.
I especially LOVE the writing clues and puzzle pieces for making sure all important information has been gathered.
