Last week we learned about “nocturnal” animals. Even though we read books about many different animals, we spent the majority of the time learning about owls and bats.
On Monday we worked together as a class to make a KLW. We began by making a list of the things we know about bats and some things we would like to learn about bats. We read lots of bat facts and made a book of our own.
During center time we made owl art projects and hung them in the hallway with the stories we wrote last week about animals that live in the woods.
We also made cat art projects at the art center this week.
We unscrambled bat facts sentences and wrote them using our neatest handwriting. We also drew a picture to go with each sentence.
We also played addition Bat BINGO. We rolled two dice to create an addition problem. Then we got to find and mark the correct answer on our Bat BINGO card.
On Friday we watched Stelleluna. In the story a baby bat named Stelleluna is separated from her mother when they are attacked by an owl. Luckily, she lands safely in a bird nest and is taken in by the mother bird. The mother bird agrees to keep her if she promises to behave like a good bird. Stelleluna discovered that even though she is similar to her new family there are still many differences.
We wrapped up the week by writing about all the things we learned about bats.
