Batty About Bats

I love bats!!  They are amazing creatures and what better time to study bats- the month of October ( even though this post is November..oops)!  We had a great bat study in our classroom.  Starting off with the reading of Stellaluna.  I just love the book and I always do the Reading Rainbow Series that goes with it.  The rest of the unit is based around non-fiction readers.  The kids love it of because of the graphic pictures ( I just love here all the ugh, gross, wow, comments I get from the students)!!  Here is a look at our Bat Projects from our unit of study!!

These pictures are the projects.  Students cut out and paste bat pictures to a poster board.  They label the top Bats and they do a show and tell with their projects.  They have to tell the class 2 facts they learned about bats and who helped them with their project!  Kids are sooo funny..most said that they did it all by themselves- no help from anyone!!  LOL!

I have some pretty cute kiddos this year!!  Just check out these little sweeties!!

Our Writing Project!!  I was so proud of my students!!  Students sponge painted the top half with orange paint and glued bat cut outs onto their writing.  Then they wrote: Bats are black. They fly at night.  We have really been working on handwriting and they did great!!

 This is just an up-close look at the top of the writing project.

     This was the display in the hall.  The top are Hand print Bats that I did with each student!  Tons of fun from this Science Unit!!
