Free Squirrel Unit Study Resources

September 18, 2013 by Jo 29 Comments

One of the activities that I have planned for the Fall season is participating in Project Squirrel.  It’s a really simple animal observation project to do with the kids and only involves 14 questions.  I think my younger students will really enjoy it.

And if we’re going to do the observation, we have to include some fun learning, right?  My plan is to do a one day squirrel unit study.  I’ve started collecting a list of free squirrel learning resources that we can use and thought I’d share them with you!

Everything you need to help you learn about squirrels! Free printables, books, crafts, and more!

    I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title,
    but then the longer I was amazed. The author did a great job.
    I spent a couple of minutes reading and checking the facts.

    Everything is crystal clear and understandable.
    This one is of that type. Moreover, I enjoy how the writer organized his ideas in addition to
    the visual part.
