What is an alligator?
Alligators are...
Alligators have a large, slightly rounded bodies, with thick limbs, broad heads, and very powerful tails.
Males can weigh 500 lbs to over 1000 pounds. Adult Alligators are about 13 to 14.5 feet long with half of that length being the tail.
The tail is mostly used to propel the alligator through the water.
Alligators travel very quickly in water but slow-moving on land.
They can, however, lunge short distances very quickly.
Alligators have five toes in front and four in back.
Everglades Poem!
by Susie Saenz
This is a poem I thought of while exploring the Anhinga Trail. I like the
way it sounds like the wind through the meadows:
On the little meadow,
By the trails side,
In a little bush,
The mocking birds hide,
By the lily pads,
Underneath the waters glow,
An anhinga finds a fish,
Putting on quite a show,
Cicadas buzz 'round,
As the alligators sleep,
The turtles come up to breath,
Then keep swimming in the deep,
Warblers flit around,
Through the tall grasses green,
The look around for danger,
With their little eyes so keen,
The green heron sits,
And seems to wait all day,
Until it spots it's lunch,
And, hunting, flies away,
A damselfly doesn't fly,
As well as a dragonfly,
But I know it'll probably try,
To soar, majestic, true and high,
Walking back on the trail I see,
Otters coming to greet me,
And air plants upon the trees,
Little fish are here swimming,
Purple flowers blossoming,
And tall grass blowing in the wind,
All this on the trail I've found,
And only by looking around,
The Everglades has much to see,
Just look around, take time like me!

Alligator Pie
by Dennis Lee
Here is the poem that this lens is based on. I have it written on poster board. The children love to read along as the helper of the day points to each of the words. It isn't long before they are able to pick out individual words and start to use them in their writing.Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don't give away my alligator pie.
Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do.
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,
But don't give away my alligator stew.
Alligator soup, alligator soup,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop.
Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop,
But don't give away my alligator soup.

How to use a Swamp Bucket
This is one of the best books I have found for teaching beginning readers about Alligators and creatures of the swamp.
You make a Swamp Bucket by writing words from the poem Alligator Pie onto blank index cards. Use magnets to make the words stick. The children work together putting the words in order to form the sentences.
1. Make Swamp Buckets with magnetic words that form sentences.
2. Blackline Masters
3. Alligator Poems
4. Dragonfly Craft project.

Exciting Adventures and Alligator Observation
Alligator Sightings from the Swamp
We just spent the day walking the path through Shark Valley in the Everglades National Park. With many alligators sunning themselves on the edge of the path, herons catching fish and butterflies flitting around it was a memorable trip. Here are some highlights:

The Alligator Hole
Alligators keep Holes Open during the Dry Spells
During the dry season, alligators create "gator holes" which may be the only source of water around.
Make a bulletin board of an Alligator Hole and label it "Who Lives in the Alligator Hole?" As you read about alligators draw the animals and plants that are found in and around the hole. Label each one to make a thematic "Word Wall"

Crunch and Munch It's Time for Lunch
Lunch for the Aliigator's Cousin
Once there was a peaceful river...
On the banks of this river lived a greedy crocodile.
His name was Crunch.
All the creatures of the river would tremble when they heard his voice:
'Crunch and munch!
Crunch and munch!
My name is Crunch.
And I want my lunch!'
Photo Credit: Line Up for Lunch
on Photobucket.
The children love to repeat this refrain over and over. I wrote it on a chart and have it posted by the door where we go to lunch. We chant it as we finish picking up and line up for lunch. It also makes a fun song to sing quietly in a creepy voice as we go down the hall to lunch.

The Alligator Nest
Where do baby alligators come from?
An alligator nest is a pile of rotting grass, other vegetation and mud. The pile is 3 1/2 to 6 feet across and 1 to 2 feet high, sitting in a site 13 to 18 feet across that has been cleared of vegetation by the female. By the first week in July, she lays a clutch of 20 to 70 cylindrical eggs. The eggs are 3 to 3 1/2 inches long, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and are buried 3 to 14 inches deep in the nests. Incubation takes about 65 days.
The female alligator stays close to guard the eggs from raiding raccoons, skunks and opossums. After the eggs hatch in late summer, the pod of baby alligators will stay together through their first winter and often through their second winter as well. The mother alligator stays close to her pod of babies, protecting them from male alligators, herons and humans.
Baby alligators must feed themselves. They eat minnows crayfish, snails, insects and tadpoles. They grow 9 to 10 inches each year for the first five years. As they mature, their diet expands to include fish, turtles, snakes, frogs, waterfowl, wading birds, raccoons, carrion and just about anything they can catch. By six years of age, they are mature and ready to breed.
WARNING: A female alligator will protect her family. Never approach a pile of rotting grass. Never approach a pod of baby alligators.
Look for more egg related lessons at Bluebirds and Take Home Literacy Bags.
Oviparous Center
Alligators are Oviparous Animals
Oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs.
1. Put an egg laying animal in each egg.
2. On the inside of the egg write the name of the animal.
3. Provide a recording sheet with the sentence "__________are egg layers."
4. Children open the egg and write the name on the record sheet.
Alligators are Oviparous
Alligators Lay Eggs Too!

Who Layed THAT Egg?

Everyone knows that chickens lay eggs. Most people know that all other birds do as well but have you ever thought about all the other animals that lay eggs? Children may be surprised that some eggs do not contain birds. Other egg layers include frogs...
Alligator Math
Use Alligator mouths to indicate Greater Than or Less Than signs.
This is a fun way to learn the Greater Than/Less Than symbols. You can even let the kids paint their hands green. Once dry, their hands become the alligators that eat the greater amount.

Greater Than Less Than Alligator Math Game
Math Manipulatives from the Swamp
Photo Credit: Alligator
on Yuletopia
The alligator down in the number swamp is very hungry. As we all know, higher numbers have more calories than lower numbers, so the higher numbers are the ones that the alligator wants to eat.
1. Lay out two cards.
2. The alligator eats the card with the higher number.
3. If the two cards are equal, feed the alligator two more cards.
This game was inspired by Summer and Falcon's alligator on Yuletopia.

Scientists have learned much through the study of animal jaws and teeth - diet, predatory habits and species size to name a few. Until now, most classroom study was limited to text book pictures and descriptions.
Hands on Animal Bites brings the study of animal habits to a much more personal level. Each kit includes a fascinating collection of teeth and mandible fragments chosen to reflect the diversity of diet and behavior within the animal kingdom.
Three samples from each of the major dietary groups - herbivore, carnivore and omnivore - have been handcrafted to bring stark realism to the classroom.
This unique science kit is ideal for the exploration and teaching of the differences and adaptability that occur in nature, and functions as an exciting learning center perfect for individual, group and classroom instruction.
Included are replicas of a hippopotamus, beaver, mountain gorilla, coyote, Alligators, African Lion, human, , grizzly bear and baboon - each an excellent representative of it respective group.

Songs and Poems are great activities for learning to read.
There was an alligator sitting on a log.
Down in the pool he saw a little frog.
In jumped the alligator!
Around went the log!
Splash went the water, and away swam the frog!
Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream,
If you see an alligator don't forget to scream!

How doth the little crocodile...
a poem by Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile...
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
- Katie Parke's portfolio
- This poem appeared in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). Mama Nile crocodiles let their babies hang out in their gaping mouths.

Making Alligators
This project needs a lot of help for younger children. Invite an older class to come in and pair up with your children. This cooperative activity helps the social unity of the school.
Ask the older children to make extras of these alligator boxes for your learning centers. Write the word noun on one alligator box and verb on the other.
Make paper eggs and write words that the children are learning on the eggs. On the back of the eggs you could write the words noun or verb for self checking. The eggs should fit in the alligator box's mouth.
The children feed the right eggs to the alligators.

- I couldn't believe how many of these were around in the Everglades near Alligator Alley. Hundreds of them just off the road. People were stupid (brave? nah, stupid), they'd take their picture right next to them. Not me, I'll pass. I once had grilled farm raised alligator once too.. weird taste. Not what I'd call a delicacy. Great work on this lens!

PS we also had that same american goulash, but with tomato sauce with stewed tomatoes rather than ketchup.
