X is the hardest letter to find an activity for, and a xerus solves it. Your students build Xavier the Xerus, research with a fact sheet, then write about what they would do with a xerus.
This xerus craft is a letter X activity that pairs Xavier the Xerus with writing prompts and a simple research page. Students build the craft, write about what they would do if they were or owned a xerus, and record real facts about this African ground squirrel, so 1 animal covers art, writing, and science.
