Spring Mammal Study

For our Mammal Study, as part of the May Newsletter for the Handbook of Nature Study challenges, I let the kids pick a mammal that is native to our area.  I had them research and answer questions about their mammal - where do they live? what do they eat? what kind of a home do they have? who are their predators? and so on.

A picked the Red Fox, an animal we have seen in the wild before, although not in our current city. He chose to look at a few websites to learn more about them.

N picked the Mule Deer, an animal we have seen in our backyard before.  She used the dictionary and websites too.
