It's a Bat day!

Today we had our annual Bat Day. It was so much fun and the kids loved all the activities we did. Especially the Predator/Prey game we played!

I started the day by reading Stellaluna by Janell Cannon and we had some worksheets to go with it. I put all those worksheets plus the ones I created for my All about Bats Mini Unit that I sell on TPT (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/All-About-Bats-Mini-Unit-933296) inside the "All about Bats" book that you see in the picture below. Then, we watched the movie and compared and contrasted the movie/book.  After, we read our Scholastic News magazine and more books about bat facts.  We also watched some videos on Safari Montage.




Here you can see the books I read, the Scholastic News, a puppet made from construction paper and a lunch bag, and the book we made to keep all of our worksheets together.

These are some the activities I have in my All about Bats Mini unit on TPT

This is my wonderful class rocking their bat masks!

Here we were playing the Predator/Pray game with Mrs. Johnson's class.  We, Mrs. Johnson and I, scattered tiny colored sticks all over the ground. The students (predators) had to collect as many as the sticks (prey) as possible. The had to make sure they were not dropping them because another predator could come and take them.  After collecting the sticks, we went back to the class and graphed their findings. We talked about how some colors were easier to find than others (camouflage). It was a great and fun learning experience!


Tomorrow we will continue learning about bats and more nocturnal animals. We will complete a interactive Venn Diagram about the differences and similarities of Owls and Bats. I cannot wait!
