Explore Fall with Nocturnal Animals — Early Elementary Unit Study | Knowledge Crates
type: Product
description: When the sun goes down, most of the world settles in for the night — but a whole cast of animals is just waking up. Explore Fall with Nocturnal Animals is built around that quiet magic, inviting young learners to discover who's really out there after dark: owls swooping silently through the trees, raccoons climbing into cozy tree holes, bats fluttering through the night sky, and opossums hanging out on quiet branches. This fall homeschool unit study is designed for early elementary learners and teaches science, literacy, fine motor skills, and social-emotional growth through hands-on, screen-free learning anchored by four engaging storybooks and one very lovable mascot. This is a complete, open-and-go unit study, so there is no lesson planning, no supply runs, and no scrambling. The unit is guided by Pepper, a plush skunk who comes right along in the crate. Pepper starts the unit afraid of the dark — his tummy gets fluttery, the shadows feel long and strange, and the forest sounds different once the sun goes down. But as your child works through each week's books and activities, Pepper learns the secrets of the nighttime world right alongside them, growing from a Scared Skunk into a Smart Skunk. By the end of the unit, your child hasn't just learned about nocturnal animals — they've helped a friend find his courage. Each week is anchored by a different read-aloud that builds on the last. Night Animals opens the unit with a first look at who comes out after dark. Out of Sight, Until Tonight! All About Nocturnal Animals takes a closer, fact-filled look at the animals themselves. The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark follows a little owl named Plop, whose fear of the dark mirrors Pepper's own journey. And The Busy Tree closes the unit with a visit to an old oak tree that's home to more creatures than you'd ever expect. Every book comes with before, during, and after reading questions from Pepper himself, turning story time into real conversation rather than passive listen…
