Description
Chickens Aren’t the Only Ones by Ruth Heller is a non-fiction text that teaches young children about animals that lay eggs (oviparous). It can foster discussions about the difference between oviparous and viviparous animals, and is a great read-aloud to open up this lesson!
What's Included:
- Step-by-step directions on how to make the craft.
- Cut & Glue craft for students to 'hatch' their own animal! (can also be drawn instead of cut and glue if needed)
- Lined writing paper blank and with sentence starter for differentiation.
- Craft examples for teacher and oviparous animal ideas for the student who is stuck!
I hope this lesson finds its use in your classroom, with one of my favorite non-fiction books of the year! As a first grade teacher, this lesson is always a hit! My students have a blast picking their own oviparous animal to hatch. After we finish our writing and craft, we present them to each other on the carpet as 'egg-xperts.' :)
