As soon as I showed the book to the class the room was filled with "eewwwwww" and "gross! They stink!". The kids couldn't wait to learn about this smelly animal.
After reading our nonfiction text on skunks we took a few minutes to retell facts we learned from the book. Then each student had to choose one fact to record as their "stinky skunk fact". I told them that they were not allowed to write "skunks smell bad", that they had to choose something NEW they learned. They were able to remember a lot of really interesting facts!
After I approved the stinky skunk fact, they got to work creating a skunk to go with it. How cute are these?!?
I just love how they turned out and the students just loved that the fact was in the skunks puff of stinky spray (or musk as we learned yesterday).
