We make a chart about what we know about the desert.

We also make connections to the book: T-T, T-S, T-W

Watercolor desert scenes

"What Am I?" Desert Animal Game

After reading the book Desert Giant, we sequenced the life cycle of the Saguaro Cactus and filled out 1 or more facts on the cactus sheet.

Activities:

Waterford Press (not much for Desert, but lots of other habitats)

Desert Puzzle

Matching Puzzle Desert Scavenger Hunt

For Teachers:

Much of my lessons have come from this WONDERFUL resource from the Denver Public School's El Alma de la Raza Project: Desert Unit

(Including the "What am I" cards and Saguaro sequencing cards)

More coming soon..
