~Bats~
We
talk about bats! Students learn lots of facts about
bats!
We
read Stellaluna by Janell Cannon. The students
LOVE this heart warming story!
We
play bat tic-tac-toe at the Word Work area! I bought
my bats at Party America and then the game boards
are ghost placemats I purchased at Big Lots for
cheap!
Spooky bats go flying at night,
Flapping about in the pale moonlight.
Spreading their wings, they're a scary
sight!
But truth be told, there's no need for
fright.
They eat harmful insects, for which we're
glad!
They're somewhat shy, I might also add.
But never grab one - it could get mad!
They hang upside down and doze that way!
Caves and trees are where they stay.
Until it grows dark - then it's up and away.
(tune: Frere Jacques)
Bats are sleeping
Upside down.
Upside down.
Sleeping in the morning sun.
Waiting for the night to come.
Then they'll fly all around.
Then they'll fly all around.
By Shel Silverstein
Ready to soar;
One stayed behind,
Now there are four.
Four black bats
Hanging from a tree;
One fell down,
Now there are three.
Three black bats
Wondering what to do;
One flew away,
Now there are two.
Two black bats
Sitting in the sun;
One fell asleep,
Leaving only one.
One lonesome bat
With no place to go,
Went hiding in a cave,
Now there are zero.
5 little bats came flying in the door,
One flew away and that left only 4
4 little bats hiding in a tree,
One flew away and that left 3
3 little bats looking down at you,
One flew away and that left 2
2 little bats hiding from the sun,
One flew away and that left just one.
One little bat hanging all alone,
He flew away and then there were none.
We
read our Scholastic newspapers about Bats!
We
write about Benny the Bat! Students are given a sentence
starter...
it really hits all your learners. I conference with each student to
"stretch" out
words. We put this book in our Reading Center.
Students put
number bats in order from 0-20!
The bats
get to hang upside down!
We estimate bat fangs!
We make bat puppets!
We make bat
cookies! Miss Susan uses pie crust and bat cookie
cutters. Each child gets to put cinnamon on their bat
before cooking!
Students put bat
puzzles together. Students find the two wings
that match!
Were hanging ‘neath the moon.
"The witch is coming soon."
"With a purple pointy nose."
"Cover up her ugly toes."
"Can scratch you - that I know!"
"I think we’d better go."
Escaped into the night.
"That’s a scary sight!"
