First is the lapbook found at HSS .
I found a handwriting page on "P for Panda" for DD here and for DS fun facts tho be used as copywork from here.
Misc. information for kids about pandas can be found at this site.
Vocabulary: Extinct, Endangered
Giant Panda basic facts:
* Giant pandas are bears.
* Pandas are mammals.
* Where do they live? They live in mountainous bamboo forests in the country of China and is part of the continent of Asia (show on a map).
* What do they eat? In the wild, pandas' main diet is bamboo shoots and their leaves. Bamboo is a plant (a type of grass) that grows in the mountainous and rainy forests where pandas live. Pandas living in zoos eat bamboo, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots and other yummy nutritious foods.
* About 140+ pandas live in zoos, mostly in China and other zoos around the world.
* Their fur is black and white and perhaps it is to be able to find each other and to camouflage themselves in the cloudy forests.
I also found quite a bit of stuff to use at Enchanted Learning.
Our book list for this unit includes:
