Science

How had I NOT heard of The Nocturnals by Tracey Hecht? It’s an early reader and middle grade reading adventure that pairs fiction and nonfiction science books with incredible resources and lovable character friends— Dawn, the red fox; Tobin, the pangolin; and Bismark, the sugar glider. While I consider myself well-versed in the latest elementary science books and am always in search of the best series with classroom resources, I somehow missed The Nocturnals, but you won’t!

Make a mini-habitat for nocturnal animals like a pangolin, sugar glider, or fox using the information in The Nocturnals nonfiction book, or choose your own animal to research.
This activity is great for animal adaptations units & supporting environmental literacy!
