All about Spiders Nonfiction Informational Text Unit

Are you afraid of spiders? This nonfiction unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about spiders and work on the reading informational text standards. I love to learn about spiders in late Fall and November. This unit includes a mini reader that will teach them all about spiders with a matching colorful book with real photos. This real book can be projected via the digital google link, downloaded as a powerpoint or shared as a pdf. You could even print it and put it in your classroom library. There are so many fun comprehension activities to complete after you read the story. You could do the included research project, make a fun spider craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become spider experts. This is a smaller portions of my Entire week on Spiders which includes both fiction and nonfiction. If you own it, you may not want to purchase this.
