I am a first year homeschool mom. I found Lesson Planet and was impressed with the amount of resources that are available online! I have been able to find content that was age appropriate and relevant to the areas my 3 kids are studying. And knowing that these are plans created by teachers makes me confident in presenting the material to my children.

Animals are amazing at disguise! Explore the different ways they escape view as scholars learn vocabulary-in-context through Jim Arnosky's book I See Animals Hiding. Prepare pupils to raise their hands when they hear the words by acquainting them before reading. The wild words included here are: blend, camouflage, invisible, replace, scene, and unnoticed. There are connection questions for each term, and the linked graphic organizers are a great way to synthesize this information.
Students explore a poster and listen to and practice with animal words. For this ESL lesson, students use the vocabulary words in context and write poetry or a report for vocabulary reinforcement.
For this African animals counting worksheet, students practice their math skills as they count the number of giraffes and then circle the appropriate numbers.
In this research animals worksheet, students read 2 paragraphs about giraffes. Students research information about the giraffe and write an essay about the animal.
Before a trip to the zoo, you can have your students complete these motivating activities. Learners listen to the book Do Pigs Have Stripes by Melanie Walsh, and classify a group of animals based on attributes. Then students draw a picture of animals they could see at the zoo, and use a Venn diagram to compare animals, such as giraffes, elephants, zebras, etc. Finally, students head to the computer lab to write a sentence about a zoo animal.
Students explore the 12 symbolic animals of the Chinese zodiac,how these animals were chosen, and the personality traits that correspond to each animal. They explain the Chinese calendar.
Who doesn't love animals? Young learners will be excited to develop their vocabulary and categorize animals into different lists. This includes a fun extension activity that encourages the older learners to create a PowerPoint presentation and participate in internet research.
Students study the effects of wildlife conservation and relocation. In this conservation lesson students view video on the preservation of the giraffe populations and discuss the impact that humans have had on them.
Students investigate animal habitats in zoos. In this animal habitat instructional activity, students fill in a KWLH chart about zoos before looking at pictures of African animals in zoo habitats. They discuss what they see and take a field trip to the zoo where they take digital pictures of animals in their habitats. They complete an art project of a chosen habitat.
In this counting practice worksheet, students count the number of African animals on the page and circle the correct number from the options available.
