The plethora of rich text available to students is wonderful! One of the books we used during our How the World Works unit was
What If You Had Animal Hair?, by Sandra Markle.
This is an marvelous book that uses facts about animal hair in relation to kids being able to have the same adaptations as the animals in the book. It was the perfect follow up to our discussion on animal habitats and why specific animals live where they do.
Each student got to choose which animal's hair they would want to have and create an artistic representation, with a reason why. I was blown away by the creativity of my class.
How incredible are those?
Have you used this book in your classroom? I would love to read about your thoughts!
