I was absolutely fascinated – and saddened – while researching this topic of these intelligent, versatile and highly sensitive creatures and have finally settled on presenting the information in language that can be geared towards older or younger students.  The language and terminology as is is thus suitable for around Grades 4 and 5.

With discussion and explanation it is suitable for younger learners.  Older learners will be able to study the information and complete the activities with a minimum of assistance.  The Activities, Comprehension and Revision exercises are ranged from young learners to older learners.

To cover all elementary age groups I have also included crossword puzzles, wordsearches, lesson plans, crafts and activities for the range Pre-K upwards.  Particularly for the kindergarten/grades 1-2 age groups I have included squirrel thematic printables that can be used in a classroom theme or Homeschool room setting.

Teaching Guides and Lesson Plans and ideas, as well as the geography, history and location of the very many species of these beautiful creatures, many of which are endangered, have been included.

Simple healthy snacks and recipes are sure to delight any child (and adult), while riddles, songs and finger plays, Squirrel Games complete the early learning thematic unit.
