Arctic Animals

Now that rush of Christmas is behind us, I can now begin to think ahead to the new year.  My kindergarten team will be working on Arctic Animals when we return to school.  We usually spend about 3 to 4 weeks on polar animals.  This year, we have decided to transform our entire hallway into a habitat.  We have designated four different areas for different animals.  The animals we chose to teach our students about are:





I have a couple units on Arctic animals already, but I like to use graphic organizers with my students.  There are certain graphic organizers that my students are familiar with and use with confidence.  Therefore, I decided to create an entire Winter Animal graphic organizer packet.

Here is a sample of graphic organizers that are included in this packet.  This is only a sample.  The entire packet is 50 pages.
