So, we've been learning a little bit about bats this past week and I'm here to share a few of those ideas with you. It seems that all kids love learning about bats. My kids are always 100% engaged when we start learning about topics that they're interested in.. naturally.
In our reading curriculum we're learning about vowels and their sounds, so of course I found a super cute song on youtube that goes perfectly with our bat theme.
Kids go batty for this song... oh, and they're learning too!
I read some nonfiction books and fiction books about bats. Here are some of my favorites:
I highly recommend reading both books to your kiddos!
I love making little books for my kids to take home. It gives them ownership of their learning, they can retell the information by looking at the pictures, & their families can see what we're learning.
You can find my bat book {HERE}.
In the book, kids will learn about echolocation. Kids love learning about this, so I always play the echolocation song. It gives them a better understanding of what this word really means & they always ask me to play it again! It's amazing how kids remember this word!

We also did a bat craftivity. One of my amazing parent helpers cut the bats out in advance. The kids decorated with a white crayon & googly eyes. Then they wrote one bat fact. I hung them upside down in our classroom.
