Our kids love Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. We all find it fascinating and terrifying at the same time. As we watched the various shark shows this week, I started to see how we could jump start the new school year with a shark unit study while the kids are still excited about sharks. I did a little research into some fun ways to keep the fascination going. I found facts, unit studies, printables, art projects, fun games and more. Can’t wait to get our shark unit study started!

Thank you! My little guy wants to learn about sharks, and I’m using this post to help in planning!
We are constantly revisiting sharks. My little man can’t get enough of them!
